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. 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.

WoWow you're actually unironically anti-maquis? You think they should just roll over and let Cardassians murder them? Wow you're a piece of shit reactionary troll and I've been wasting my time arguing here. Fuck off xD those planets being handed to Cardassia doesn't give them the right to displace and murder the people there, jfc what's wrong with you? The "squatters" lived there before it was a cardassian planet, and didn't shoot until they were shot. Either you've got shit memory for star trek episodes or you've got some seriously fucked up takes on colonialism
They had no options. Molly was gonna get taken away, they couldn't just take her to earth. I really really don't understand why you're so invested in the thought that the O'Briens are evil bc they made a possibly stupid choice.
I take it back, you really should see a therapist. Someone who can deprogram the nihilistic bootlicker out of you. People aren't evil by default, and driving someone from their home or taking away their rights isn't OK just bc a treaty says so
TNG covered the same situation with the Sheliak in the episode Ensigns of Command. Data convinced the colonists it was just land, which wasn't worth dying over. They could move.
Why not? We are shown people escaping to different planets almost every episode. They didn't have to send her to her death.
O'Brien is shown to make selfish decisions in this episode and you claim I need a therapist. Simultaneously you imagine the Federation, despite what is shown in TNG, as an evil child torturing organization and you think yourself normal.
You have no argument so you resort to personal attacks.
It's Cardassian land. The Maqui weren't born on those planets. They had only lived there at most 20 years. I have T-shirts older than 20 years. They moved to those border planets and then fought Cardassians who tried to forcibly remove them. If it were the Sheliak, they would have been bombarded from space because the Sheliak considered humans vermin.
The Maqui were trying to pull another Texas. US Colonists moved into disputed territory, fought the Mexican government after it was clearly Mexican territory and then cried to the US for help when things went bad. But the Federation wasn't like 1830's manifest destiny USA.
It's the same in Ukraine. Russians citizens moved to Ukraine. After a few years they started a resistance to fight against Ukraine so that the Ukrainian cities they moved into could become Russian. Russia then moved in to support them.
The Federation, by not backing the Maqui, were showing they weren't imperialist expansionists like the US was in the 1800's and Russia is today.
Wow.
