/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.

Yep. I just watched 'Past Tense' this week, where DS9 spends an entire two-parter advocating for the humane treatment of homeless and unemployed people through an economic policy of full employment. The characters succeed in bringing this about by staging an armed uprising largely led by a black man. It's not only 'woke' but explicitly socialist!

I mean, what's to understand? Kids are dumb and can't understand media, adults are dumb and can't understand media they didn't watch as kids.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.

We should only watch the real old trek.

I mean, it was one of the first shows ever to:

  • have a woman in a command position,
  • depict a black person in a non-servile role,
  • show Russians and Americans working as a team during the Cold War, and
  • have an Asian character portrayed by an actual Asian actor,

but it wasn’t woke!

It's all Old Trek that came before the J.J. Abrams movie reboot.

but it wasn’t woke!

Define woke then, please.

You have no idea how many wild claims my autistic ass has seen that were absolutely serious.

If it wasn't for Kirk banging his way around the galaxy, it would have been.
