I guess that’s the orthodox interpretation, that it’s the eggs that were bad. But like, if you actually watch what he’s doing, he just vaguely pokes at them while they burn to the bottom of the pan, and then he serves them while they’re still liquid. And they don’t call him an accomplished cook, the closest anyone gets is elevator shaft saying “Ooh, a practiced hand!” in response to Riker pouring the eggs into a pan.

But…we’ve seen it. It happened in an episode. Dude can’t cook eggs.

Tell me you wouldn’t watch at least 30 minutes of Riker failing to scramble eggs.

He even did the full chest bump thing. And then in case there was any doubt, he did the whole gesture again.

Definitely the worst thing that happened during those years.

Queercoding villains to make them seem dangerous and deviant to the people of the time (and those that are still stuck in that time). Admittedly, the people making that decision probably weren’t conscious of that being why they thought eyeliner made him look villainous.
