You know, Robin Williams was the reason that I started doing stand-up comedy? My personal hero. Knowing that he did this for Neelix, especially when he was getting a lot of hate? Robin is a saint. Also just a small thing because I wanted to honor the man…

She’s not a human though. If we treat all people as equals it shouldn’t matter what their lifespan is. Humans aren’t better just because we live longer. If she’s not mature enough to decide her own relationships I don’t think she would be mature enough to make most of the decisions we see her make. Deciding to leave home, choosing to stay with Voyager, learning to control her telepathy with Tuvok, etc
It’s not about “better”, it’s about power imbalance. When we meet her, when neelix has already been dating her for quite a while, she has the life experience of a very small child whereas he is a full grown adult who served in tne army and ran a trading business. It’s a classic example of grooming.
She has the life experience of a grown adult. Those experiences are different from you and me, but they’re not lesser
