/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.

It's trashy and very migonystic. I'm okay with guilty pleasures but please express the guilt, don't take the people get offended easily route.

Lol it seems like everything is misogyny nowadays.

I really think it's because people get offended way too easily.

We're just telling you why it's trash and not aimed at actual nerds. It's aimed at the general population and the characters are shown to treat girlfriends like trophies. The whole offense thing is mostly a free-speech absolutist talking point. And you don't want to know what type of political movement historically are free-speech absolutist until they consolidate power.

[–] Cringe2793@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, you're entitled to believe what you wanna believe. I don't think they treat their girlfriends like trophies generally.

So, yes, I do believe people are getting offended way too easily. The fact that a simple opinion of mine is rubbing so many people the wrong way is proof of this.

It's our opinion about a show. Don't flatter yourself thinking I'm clutching my pearls on your behalf.

[–] Cringe2793@lemmy.world -2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well alright then. No need to be so aggressive to people who don't share your view.

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just don't get offended so easily.
