/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Eh, good point about the secrecy. You'd have to really twist the lore into a pretzel in order to accommodate that and that ain't worth it for what's essentially a throwaway gag.
As for bowing to haters, I definitely wouldn't do that. I'd acknowledge that there is some controversy with a tongue-in-cheek reference but I wouldn't take a side. That's the fans' job – and let's be honest here, everyone who debates the canonicity of DSC is a Star Trek fan, just maybe not one of that particular show. People who hate Trek in general will not engage in debates about relative worth; to them, all of the shows suck.
Fair enough. I forgot that some people will happily inject themselves into any social group solely to complain about stuff.
Sadly, there are always hooligans looking for a fight. Sometimes it's to push a political agenda and someone's it's just because they love to fight.
Indeed. I always found that beyond stupid. DS9 and VOY are my favourite shows, and I never thought anything of the not-white-male characters. Now, I’ll admit I didn’t like DSC much, but never for the diversity of characters, that is the Star Trek Way.
