He is heterosexual for political reasons.

I thought his sexual preference was simply never stated for political reasons.

Think about it from the perspective of a Cardassian, not a viewer or show producer.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Do Cardiassians even care about that?

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

They might care about birthrates.

Highly militarized societies tend to push for birthrate, wars need bodies after all.

If you haven’t yet, I recommend reading A Stitch in Time. It’s written by Andrew Robinson and the audiobook is read by him as well.

I don't think the writers tried to make the character heterosexual, just the producers.

with all of the subtle hints in the dialog over the years, one could argue that the writers were actively trying to subvert the wishes of the producers.
