So I'm watching TOS for the first time... (have alreay watched all show from TNG to DISC quite a while ago and yes, my fav is DS9 followed by TNG) and have just started "The Enemy Within"

Idk why but my shitpost-ridden brain instantly went "wait... d-did they make Kirk hot?"

that's it, that's the post. It's mostly a /hj (I hope (?))

(just has the vibe of queercoding a villain having the opposite effect)

EDIT: I have now seen the following sexual assault scene, wtf

A large part of how we read emotions in other people is by looking at subtleties in their eyes. How open or closed, changes in shape that give away if they're telling the truth, etc.

In media, they often use dark makeup around the eyes, a shadow, or something like dark sunglasses as shorthand to show that a character is mysterious and hard to read, therefore possibly dangerous.
