/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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

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.

Are you suggesting a Jew would not have a relevant perspective about alledged antisemitism?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm suggesting that you cannot be well versed in the history of racism against Jewish people and unaware of what I posted. So the remaining options are they they're not Jewish, and are trolling, or do not actually know history, and are confident in their ignorance.

Either way, their post becomes irrelevant.

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So because I don't agree with you my options are

  1. I'm not a member of the culture I was born into
  2. I'm trolling
  3. I'm ignorant

With allies like you, who needs enemies?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Who said I was an ally? I'm just re-teaching what I've learned. I have no skin in this game.

Assuming it's not 1 or 2 then yes it's 3. This isn't an opinion conversation. It's factual that those drawings were used in racist ways, that banking was used as a racist job, and that Rowling copied both. You can choose to not care, that's an ok opinion. But you can't have an opinion that says that facts aren't facts.
