/c/TenFoward: 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.

Colm Meaney was associated with Sinn Fein (formerly the political arm of the IRA) for a long time, so "Pro-Union Irishman" took me a minute.

Traumatized Goo

I see they put O'Brien on this list, but then which one is Odo?

Odo is an identity-seeking pre-proto-fascist who redeems himself. (pre and proto both because he's not a fascist but he might have become one if the ~~Kardassians~~ Cardassians kept power)

Imho

Oh fuck it's with a c.

Haven't watched in a while and due to my native language sometimes it's easy to confuse this shit. But also am very much not sober so more excuses from that as well.

I don't remember the series that well... did he learn how to impersonate an Irishman?

I assume they’re calling Worf the”communist himbo?” I don’t get the communist part though.

I don’t get the communist part though.

He’s from Russia. His surname is Rozhenko.

Ok I guess that makes more sense. Was Rom a Himbo? I guess more so than Worf. They don’t mention Quark though. Jump straight to Rom.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Women seemed to be more into Rom than Worf, but maybe that's just my perception.

Someone did suggest they add Quark in as the token libertarian who is always wrong.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.
