/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Thanks for not just downvoting like everyone else. People take this stuff too personally.
Even in spite of my complaints, I'll still watch it with the family. I'm just bummed out that the qualities that made Star Trek so endearing are watered down or lost to the changing tastes of a new generation of media consumers and the insufferable corporate assholes who just don't get it.
This is the part that just baffles me.
I rarely see anything but vitriol for anything anymore and it usually seems almost wholly unwarranted at the levels it's offered at.
I'm beginning to think it's not that people actually dislike the stuff that comes out, they're just so programmed to nitpick EVERYTHING that they don't remember how to enjoy something without finding fault. Or they don't want to risk saying they liked something only to have someone call their very right to an opinion in question. Or.. I don't know. It well and truly confuses me.
