Perhaps another takeaway would be seen from Crusher, who was exiled for going against the traditions of his people. A closet fan of Pandy, among others he highly regarded from the planets Karoth wanted to destroy, there was always the fear in him of being open about his preferences, much like how adults liking anime and cartoons would be judged as childish and immature, for instance. However, when he gathered up the courage of standing against their traditions, Crusher need not to be shackled by what others thought of him. With his trusted team, they traversed the universe doing what they like, when they want. For him, freedom came with the price of his chance at Karoth’s throne. Yet he realized he gained more when he pursued his dreams instead. There would always be people who might scoff at your life goals, but to remain driven and determined would be a gift to humanity and to yourself.
