/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.

Where can I read all the dirt about Berman? I'm sure I've heard it in the past but now I can't remember the details of why he's hated so much.
I've got a video but not sure about a text place.
The basics are hatred of women and having their characters raped, a misunderstanding of Trek leading to some awful storylines and characters (and Enterprise, as it was almost entirely his baby), he had zero TV experience save for a kids show, he was impossible to work with, he shot down stories for little to no reason, he was a bigoted piece of shit, he micro managed everything to fuck, he HATED gay representation and repeatedly shut it down, the show runner of DS9 had to actively lie to him to get the show made, he was an awful writer but insisted on writing anyway, he was toxic management type to the point of forcing names off of scripts and putting his own name on, pushed people to their breaking points, interfered repeatedly with everything in front of him to the point you can SEE the interference in certain episodes and was a particular cunt with contract negotiations.
That's not remotely all of it.
The correct answer to the post is that he is the villain.
If Gene is the great bird of the galaxy then Rick Berman is the Great Botfly.
Got a link? :-) I can watch videos too :-)
Sure! Here's a 33 minute video. It still doesn't cover everything.

Thanks!
Anytime
Didn't he also kill Firefly?
I know it's mostly sexual harassment stuff
It really really isn't.
