But also he was super into minority species representation, organized a whole group of Ferangi friends and foes to do a military/covert mission just so he could prove they weren’t the stereotype other species considered them. He also took down a Klingon warrior to give his interspecies wife direct control over her own estate and wealth, and had a sex change to manipulate the cultural norms of his species to fight the patriarchy at the behest of his mother, who already legally created equal rights for women with cunning and soft power.
Also he wore eyeshadow and painted his nails, and was the first feramgi to allow a work force to unionize, and scolded 1950s humans for smoking and irradiating their planet. All in all, he was still pretty woke.

Those things are funnier because it’s Quark doing them. The joke is even dyed-in-the-wool libertarians get it.
