/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
My first series was TOS when TOS and TAS were the only Star Trek TV shows. The same TOS that had a bridge crew of mixed genders and ethnicities, the same TOS that taught me values like equality and compassion and talking things out before fighting. The same TOS that criticized the cold war, the Vietnam war, racism, genocide... TOS even addressed the idea of non-standard romantic relationships. In the episode Metamorphosis, the main character has a relationship with an alien who he thinks is a woman but is actually a non-corporeal cloud. When he discovers the truth, he comes to accept it and stay with the alien on the remote planet where he lives.
Which... kind of sounds like accepting people for who they are and even loving them, even if they are not in the body they were born with.
