Star Trek Online: officially licensed sexism

Found this video recommended to me by YouTube this morning:

Around number 6, they reach Star Trek Online and the Orion. Thought what they had to say was worth a laugh, so I'm sharing it with everyone else.

Funny, I had the same video recommended to me this morning. I already knew about the Orions' origins from a few TOS episodes. Perhaps I'm misremembering, but didn't a subsequent work attempt to explain that feminine Orions are, contrary to their original depiction as sex slaves, actually the rulers of their society? And being bought and sold as a sex slave as okay because, hey, there's power up for grabs? Perhaps it was from ENT. I always viewed that as the writers trying to say "see, we're not sexist, seeee!"

Indeed, Orion women just posed as slaves, exerting power over males, who were the actual slaves.

There was not much from Enterprise that I thought was super clever. Though, I did think turning an old misogynistic outlier, like the Orion sex slave into a role reversal was interesting.
