      yeah, from what i remember of watching the show, the resleeving process is fundamentally approached as a "terrible deviation from nature," i.e. a basically conservative viewpoint

      even that gives it too much credit I think. They don't even acknowledge the queer possibilities that would make reactionaries opposed the sleeving process. It's really used just as a plot gimmick.

      yes, in-universe there are christian conservatives who regard it that way but i meant that the show itself actually views it that way, with resleeving almost invariably seen as this hideous torture than dehumanizes everyone involved

      it induces psychosis in most normal people, and the only people who take to it naturally are monsters

      there's one sequence that really stuck with me, with a husband and wife fighting each other to the death in an arena but the thing is, if they fight well, they don't really die, they get rewarded with even better bodies and the show just regards this as a Moral Abomination

      which is a fundamentally conservative approach -- the question of consent doesn't matter, nor autonomy, nor choice within a constrained system rather, it's just Unnatural that a husband and wife should fight like that and they're Depraved for engaging in that activity

      It's a common and safe choice in science fiction Star Trek, for instance, has its basic format used as a way to limit how challenging its setting can be Life aboard a Starfleet vessel with its quasi military discipline is significantly more culturally conservative than Earth

          IIRC, the show has a lot of 'tell, don't show' with its vaguely 'progressive' values, a lot of the time, and when it doesn't it handles them very clumsily, so that decision definitely fits and is something to critique or criticize if you're of mind to value those ideals not shown

          Like actual StarFleet is a very weird and creepily authoritarian organization, and Earth is described as this oddly hedonistic space communism, but then it's also shown to be very conservative. Everything 'progressive' is 'told' about.
