/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.

Googling around, I've seen a lot of users and journos claiming they are a jewish stereotype. I struggled to even compare them to what HP did. And as a partially jew, I'm really jealous of qualities these bigots paint and the thinking process Quark put to work. He's probably my favorite character of the whole franchise.
The HP goblins are so unabashedly antisemitic. It really takes an English writer to pump the xenophobia up to eleven.
The antisemitism of HP books is a dumbass take on the whole thing.
If the HP goblins are Jews, then they are a defeated people living in a backwards, isolated society, fearful of change.
The wizards are openly mocked in the story. Do none of you really see that? They are a caricature of the British system of lords and commoners.
Pure blood, mudblood. Ring a bell?
The goblins as bankers in the story can be compared to Jews in medieval Europe who were forced to become merchants because they were not allowed to hold a title.
That's not antisemitism, it's history.
During the war, goblin and mixed families are shown as victims same as the Jewish and gypsy purge.
Antisemitism? No. History.
The epilogue shows that the wizard society remains mostly unchanged, still backwards, still isolated with only the new generation taking a step forward towards equality.
Antisemitism? No. History.
The only antisemitism found is the portrayal of Jews as goblins, in a fantasy series about dumb human wizards being dumb and most magical creatures being awesome.
It's a very tryhard theory that only holds water after Rowling said some hot take in her old age.
And only considers people as static blocks of stone unable to start young and change as they grow older, for better or worse.
It's a sucky POV and completely wrong.
