Both men benefitted from a system that allowed them to tell the world who they were, for decades, without being believed.

Both sat on the tail end of their lives bearing mass cult followings of young white men, who absorbed their message

And both guaranteed that the environment that created them, would survive a new generation.

Basically: star trek is garbage for the same reason trump is garbage.

Oh: remember how Dr. Crusher left in season 2? Gates McFadden left due to the culture of sexual harassment on the set.

Oh: and Leonard Nimoy was the one man who fought for her to get equal pay

So: pretty much every woman who had a major role with Roddenberry, described a toxic environment of sexual harassment

Several left the show because of Roddenberry's toxic environment. Two returned.

And then you look at the episodes. Janice Rand getting rapey-leers every single episode

30 years later, you see the *exact same* bullshit, Roddenberry's vision created in an environment that skeeved out most of the actresses

"The episode so bad, screenwriter got fired for it." It was racist as hell, but that's not all it was.

Yep. Code of Honor let Roddenberry show us who he was, 3 decades after he'd already told us.
