TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

And TOS itself had Turnabout Intruder, where Janice Lester switches minds with Kirk because women can't be captains.
"Your world of starship captains doesn't admit women. It isn't fair."
Plus The Cage/The Menagerie, where Pike says he can't get used to women on the bridge.
I thought that Pike line was written to start a story arc of a misogynist who learns to be better. He says the "can't get used to women on the bridge" line after pretty clearly being a cock to his yeoman who is just doing her job. The look that Majel Barrett's character gives him when he says the next line: "No offense Lieutenant, you're not like other women" drives it home that what he just said was really inappropriate. But that's me watching it for the first time just a few years ago, after having grown up watching '90s Trek and having certain expectations of Starfleet captains. The way Kirk was written in the following episodes kind of crushes that theory.
