/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. 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.

Between the shit he had caused and the drek that is nu-trek, I've gotten lb to the point where I feel him to be almost a lesser evil.
What do you mean by "nu-trek"?
NuTrek is a term that is commonly used in a derogatory fashion about anything Star Trek made after the last Kelvin movie. Often while saying at the same time that it is either "Bad Star Trek" or the typical whiny gatekeeping nonsense of "It's not Real Trek/Doesn't understand Trek", as if they somehow are the only ones who do.
Star Trek fans have a habit of screeching at the top of their lungs whenever anything new is added before gradually calming down and accepting it. People lost their mind over TNG, over DS9, over VOY, over ENT and over the Kelvin movies and now even the Kelvin movies are being looked back on more fondly.
Protip: If anyone ever dismisses the entirety of Newer Trek like this user just did? You can pretty safely dismiss them yourself because they just threw out 5 entire shows (and maybe 4 movies) while generalizing them all.
Also dude is just straight up arguing that Rick Berman, the guy who hated a woman so much the only way he'd allow her to continue being on the show was if he got to canonically write in that her original character was raped to death is "a lesser evil" because he doesn't like the new shows.
Just let that sink in. The people who blindly hate the newer Trek shows are so psychotically unhinged they're now like "Yeah, but the dude who abused everyone who worked for him is a lesser evil because I don't like the new shows."
I have less than zero respect for these people.
I appreciate your thoughtful and detailed response.
I was doing the "why grandpa, what do you mean by "those people" thing to bait them into some self-reflection, but I'm not sure it would have made a difference anyway.
It never does. Only time seems to make any difference. They seem to forget why they hated it, watch it and get over it going "Huh this isn't as bad as I remember" and then pretend they never acted like it in the first place.
Give it 10 years and people will be offering me money for my Stamets username on like... everything.
