I think we're, at least, led to believe that Starfleet officers are better adjusted than your average early 21st century human. For example, we don't see a lot of gossip behind Riker's back about how he gets around, but you very probably would today.

It may still not be ideal, but I think it would be less problematic than it would be for us.

"Today, helm" would be fun every time there was someone new

I'm juggling 3 languages

We Americans like to forget that anyone might have any trouble understanding English especially in cases of polyglots.

I don't know which is your native tongue but from this comment it looks like you're doing a fine job.

Except that it would be "they should, of course,".

Also that person may have known what you meant, but another might not and may have any number of reasons for not asking.

Better communication skills are a worthwhile goal and there's no good reason to not learn and grow.

Not the 1865 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland which also has the same credentials but, as you can see, is earlier?

Still not sold on calling all of it Isekai regardless, but at least check your own facts

Well, what state is the country in? Are things progressing like the people want, or like the donors of the elected officials want?

We don't have an Isekai genre. We have an Other World subgenre of fantasy that Japan made another name for and weebs apply to everything similar.

Well they were unspecific about who it was good for

It's been working for them this long

That's not necessarily wrong, but it's a dangerous precedent. How many people throughout history have done terrible things to be able to provide for their family? At what point does it become immoral not to take a stand?
