She's a sex pest though, worse than Barclay.
It's worse because she's telepathic - she knows the advances are unwanted and makes people uncomfortable, and yet she does it anyway.
On top of that, she's a very important Federation ambassador. People might feel pressured into keeping her happy.
I have a feeling that if she were of a different sex people would view her relentless unwanted sexual advances quite differently.
But I guess "man trying to avoid sexual advances of horny older woman" was seen as being a hilarious role reversal on 90s TV.
She did have some amazing scenes though. She can certainly act when she gets a serious scene as opposed to a sex pest scene.
I feel like most people would agree she's a terrible person. Makes for a great character in a tv show though because she shakes things up.
