Star Trek hosts several complex and well-loved characters with interesting moral positions. However, one fan believes that Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine might have gotten off too easy in public discourse.
Star Trek:Deep Space Nine is the fourth Star Trek series and the first to take place on a station instead of a Starship. The series enjoyed remarkable critical acclaim, and fans took to many of the main characters, including the shapeshifting head of security for the Deep Space Nine station, Odo, a sentient creature known as a Changeling who starts his life adapting to human ways and acted as something of a moral guidepost for other characters.
Despite the character generally being viewed in a positive light as a fan-favorite, one Star Trek enjoyer on Reddit doesn’t believe the character deserves this stellar reputation at all. User OpCrossroads1946 took to the site’s r/startrek board to put forth a post boldly titled, “Odo doesn't get enough hate,” in which he took issue with one particular part of the character’s history that he views as far more irredeemable than other fans seem to remember it.

OpCrossroads1946 goes on to establish the severity of the threat posed by the Dominion–who at one point were considering killing all inhabitants of Earth–and highlights the fact that Odo would go on to have an intimate relationship with the female Changeling despite her position as the head of the war effort, effectively fraternizing with the enemy while millions of lives were at stake. The user compared Odo's position to that of Hitler's consort, Eva Braun, arguing that Odo's actions were similar to hers and should be judged as harshly. Rather than appropriately resenting the character for his betrayal, OpCrossroads1946 points out that Odo got a free pass for eventually siding with the right factions in the Dominion War. They also attributed some of this leeway to the stellar performance behind Odo from the late great René Auberjonois, which may have bought the character more goodwill than earned.
While a lot happened to Odo throughout Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,even after these events, little is done to address the magnitude of this wrongdoing or atone for it. On the contrary, Odo would instead make peace with the female Changeling and save the species in a pivotal moment for the
