[ID: Five gifs from Star Trek DS9 featuring Kira Nerys and Gul Dukat. Kira is sitting at a table while Dukat is standing.
Dukat is the only one speaking, he says, “I must admit, I do get a certain perverse pleasure out of it.” Kira laughs though it’s clearly forced. Then Dukat tells her, “Read it or not, it’s up to you.” Kira shrugs. She grabs a cup that’s on the table before she throws it at Dukat. The cup nearly misses Dukat’s face before it shatters on the wall.

Really kind of a hot take but if you think Kai Winn is legitimately worse than Dukat you’ve got some issues.
Like what’s worse, being a corrupt religious leader or committing actually r*pe and genocide frequently AND being an even MORE corrupt religious leader because you started a fucking death cult 🤔
I definitely agree with this, but also I’m an aspiring author and from a writers perspective I prefer the character of Dukat. He has a lot of backstory and is such a complicated character with a great arc, but then there’s Kai Winn over here just being annoying and evil and for what? Like whyyy?
I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or if you genuinely forgot Winn Adami’s whole backstory of surviving the atrocities of the Cardassian occupation as well as her entire character arc starting with her indignation at the fact that a Starfleet officer, a human of all things, was chosen as the Emissary instead of her, who had dedicated her whole life to serving the Prophets, who she understandably felt betrayed by, so she resorted to turning to the Pah-Wraiths (the Satanic representation we didn’t know we needed in Trek) and also slightly almost mended her relationship with Kira which Dukat certainly never did (she even admitted her flaws and seemed to understand the weight of the things she had done), and then getting tricked into sleeping with Gul Dukat (can you fucking imagine), throwing him out into the streets blind and helpless when she found out the truth, also she fucking KILLED him albeit temporarily.
That’s a lot of things. Dukat’s entire character was just why don’t the people I oppressed like me I was such a nice guy :’(
