He ruined her career, forced her into silence with his power, and she only felt safe to come forward several years after he died.

Now think of all the women who will not feel safe to come forward about trump until after he dies.

The measure of power that Roddenberry exerted, was insignificant compared to the power that trump will wield in a few days.3

We know he's a rapist. We won't hear most of his victims until, likely, well after he dies of a stroke.

*That* is why you shut that shit down, no exceptions. Leonard Nimoy was the only decent man on that set, while she was there.

Oh: You know Lwaxana Troi from TNG? She worked with Grace Lee Whitney.

Majel Barrett, with whom Roddenberry cheated on his wife, returned to working with him decades later.

She returned, knowing how much of a scumbag he was, and how dedicated he was to expressing his shit on his show.

She knew, for instance, that he originally wanted Deanna Troi to have 4 breasts.

Far from being a joke, you begin to see that Roddenberry *hated* women, constantly disrespected them, and then turned that into television.

Why was Yeoman Rand constantly threatened with rape? Roddenberry was making public how he felt about her.

Decades later, that same shitheel was pulling the same shit on women.

All those times Riker gets horny in space? Deanna Troi gets mind-raped by an alien? Same Roddenberry who did the same to Grace Lee Whitney.

All of TNG's weird sexuality, was Roddenberry, in a position even more powerful than the one he'd abused 30 years earlier.

Rape culture is what allows people to joke about "Deanna Troi gets mind-raped again," without seeing it as the behaviour of a rapist exec.

Roddenberry, literally before the show even aired, when he was still known as a two-bit western director, told us who he is.

He told us who he is, and made several hours of television telling us in each leering, sweating face, who he is.

And: no one believed him. He kept doing it for another 3 decades, gaining more and more power and influence.
