That hasn't really been my experience? I feel like most people in fandom are fairly aware that the Cardassians as a political entity are pretty awful, and that Dukat is completely evil, as much as Cardassians and Dukat are also fascinating. Like, Cardassians are interesting and cool. I can think that and also recognize that the occupation was fucked up.

And on the other hand, that doesn't mean that all Cardassians as a race are evil, ofc, and I don't think Garak is anywhere near the same category as Dukat.

I think subby is upset that people are interested in Cardassians at all. Like, "How could anyone like them?" in the same way people like The Joker or Hannibal, when they are just as evil. It's because they are interesting. Simple as that.

Well, that's just silly, then.

I had to get out of the DS9_rewatch chats because of the people going on and on about the super sexy Space Nazis. Vomit. If anything, they're more like Space British Empire anyway.

People can find the Cardassians interesting without going down that road, and I'm glad that you have found other people who do! There is quite a bit of good fic out there, and the show was very careful to make "evil race" WAY more complex than it looked when the show began.

I do like the idea of Cardassians as the Space British Empire. It's a testament to how complex they were able to make them that you can make those comparisons, I think, without just referencing obvious aesthetic cues.

Yeah, I would definitely be very annoyed with people unironically hero-worshipping the Cardassians, I guess it's lucky I've avoided that.

AYRT Yeah, one of the cases when the show did a lot better than the fans, I think.
