There is certainly an intersectional hierarchy on board the Orville where the straight white men constantly struggle with their natural inferiority, the straight black man is almost as inferior, and the doctor is described as the wisest person on board. They didn't make her character gay, though. To make up for that, they gave her robot fever.
They could at least have given her a male name (Michael?) FFS, cisgender bigots! I clocked her straight away as Cassidy from Deep Space Nine. 1 minute DS9, the next this absurd farce fail fest. Still, dollars are dollars I guess.
I loved the episode where they went to Bortus' homeworld of hyper masculine gay men whose entire planet is dedicated to weapons development and they spend all day blowing shit up. You know, because obviously an all male society has to either blow shit up all the time or produce musicals all the time. They should have gone all out and had half of them blow shit up all the time, while the other half produces musicals all the time. And of course they are ridiculously set in their ways and are completely incapable of seeing how wrong anything is.
