Yes. It seems that, for many fans, sexual innuendo of any kind is thoroughly offensive, unnecessary and unworthy of the high-minded greatness that is Star Trek.

They also quite conveniently ignore the fact that the show’s founder was an unmitigated and unapologetic adulterous perv.
Alien ape sex is the literal definition of Gene's Vision. I'm sure alien ape pervert voyeur probably falls under that criteria too.
 
Rewatching the episode today I didn’t feel as uncomfortable as the first time. Might be that I knew it was coming or that this time I wasn’t watching it with my girlfriend, perhaps.

On the other hand, I’m feeling more and more uncomfortable reading this topic. :D
 
Of course, the most intriguing aspect of this episode was - Kzinti are apparently now in Starfleet! This is kind of curious, considering in a few short years, Riker gets real squirrelly about a Kzinti presence near Napenthe.

I wonder if that one was a kind of Kzin Worf, a member of Starfleet, irrespective of the adversarial nature between those two governments.

Could be. Or maybe there's a band of renegade Kzinti that were giving Riker trouble.

Yeah, I've been thinking the matter over too.
 
Picard also takes place a couple of decades later, relations can change in some twenty years.

See precisely the Klingons, that in TNG were close federation skies and a few years later went to war with the federation.
 
This episode was solid, with a couple of good laugh lines and a creativeish solution. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't great.
Seems like TLD is settling on a "mildly funny but not overly memorable or ground breaking with lots of fun callbacks and some randomly naughty stuff to excite the nerds" formula. They ought to be able to churn out a lot of episodes if they stick with that.
