It’s a remarkable counter point to his depiction of Baron Harkonnen in Dune.
Not particularly, especially in light of the very scene I mentioned. Homophobes often treat lesbianism differently, either dismissing it or sexualizing it, because they’re usually sexist as well.

I was thinking of the bit in God Emperor of Dune where the Duncan is outraged at seeing the lesbian fish speakers and Moneo chiding him for it.

Actually, yeah. That’s a good point.
Something in the back of my mind way making noise while I was writing that out. Thanks for of pointing it out explicitly.
