        Ok I guess that makes more sense. Was Rom a Himbo? I guess more so than Worf. They don’t mention Quark though. Jump straight to Rom.

          Women seemed to be more into Rom than Worf, but maybe that’s just my perception.

          Someone did suggest they add Quark in as the token libertarian who is always wrong.

            But also he was super into minority species representation, organized a whole group of Ferangi friends and foes to do a military/covert mission just so he could prove they weren’t the stereotype other species considered them. He also took down a Klingon warrior to give his interspecies wife direct control over her own estate and wealth, and had a sex change to manipulate the cultural norms of his species to fight the patriarchy at the behest of his mother, who already legally created equal rights for women with cunning and soft power.

            Also he wore eyeshadow and painted his nails, and was the first feramgi to allow a work force to unionize, and scolded 1950s humans for smoking and irradiating their planet. All in all, he was still pretty woke.

              Those things are funnier because it’s Quark doing them. The joke is even dyed-in-the-wool libertarians get it.

        He’s from Russia. His surname is Rozhenko.

        Actually, that’s his adoptive parent’s surname. They’re from Russia.

          And also his surname, judging by the fact that he passes it on to Alexander.

          He grew up in Russia. That means he’s from Russia in my book.
