Hear me out:

Hear me out:

It is not a phase, sir.
Data, Lore, and their long lost sibling Bloodraven.
Hey so alternative culture isn't a Halloween costume. Like actually though. There's nothing "spooky season" about this look
Which is exactly why I think we should use AI to add 1 scene that's 7 seconds long in the episode after Tasha Yar gets killed of Data opening up a makeup kit in front of a mirror. Then a goth phase literally no one talks about for the whole season. Away missions, Holodeck scenes, all of it, Data in full goth attire. More than one black lace dress. No change in voice or dialogue.
Then it just ends. No one says anything. Add in another 3 second cut of Riker and Picard giving each other a look when Data walks on to the bridge not dressed up for the first time.
Edit: Which isn't to say that Data "goes goth" is a dismissive phase. That in the exploration of what it means to be alive, Data plumbs the depths of human emotions and arrives, I think rightfully, expressing inner darkness. That everyone goes about without noticing it and commenting on it only speaks to the advanced nature of their society to let anyone process grief however they process. Even an android.
No, not true. Alternative culture is out of the norm, therefore it is frightening to normies. But at this point that poor culture has been fetishized so much I'd call it normal. Drake has a goth mommy.
I mean, I guess. I'm not even like offended or anything, I just think this is stupid. Like you can of course wear this as a costume in the same way you can wear anything, but to me this is the same thing as if the bottom panel had Data all decked out in Knicks fans attire. It's Halloweeny if you wear it as a costume on Halloween, but that's the only Halloweeny thing about it. Alt people are dressing this way in May too 🤷♂️
Lumberjacks dress as lumberjacks all year round but I'm still allowed to dress as a lumberjacks for Halloween 🤷
Ya I get what you saying. Think about like it more like nurse or fireman outfit. That's just everyday attire for them.
You will be assimilated, into Hot Topic.
STOP making me attracted to the robot, you sick fuck 😡
"I'm not a rectangle, I'm a square."
C'mon, Data understands category theory better than that!
Androids are just hunanoid robots so I always thought that line was kinda silly.
Hey, his ring has a Starfleet insignia, it’s regulation! Everyone just chill out!
Ok I'm starting to understand what Tasha Jar was on about.
I just keep thinking about Noel Fielding's character in The IT Crowd.
