Kira is a real prick to Quark

To preface, I like both characters a lot.

But Kira is just horrible to Quark because she thinks he was a collaborator, when, and I get it might be retroactive continuity to some degree, he sold the Bajoran resistance supplies at cost. That's, like, the opposite of being a collaborator, it's two steps away from being an operative. She's mean and nasty and constantly threatens him unnecessarily. His crimes on the station are broadly just smuggling stolen shit or running financial schemes and swindles, aside from the once or twice he dabbled in the arms trade.

I guess he did conspire to make holo-porn of her one time but that really didn't seem to make a difference to her attitude overall. He's often misogynistic, but he's also probably quite a bit less racist than your average Starfleet officer, which is a surprisingly low bar to clear, but still.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk
