/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
I disagree because someone sharing their opinion does not limit others from accessing the content. Edit if others aren't targeted during the opinion sharing
Someone saying "blue isn't a good color" doesn't make blue less accessible, and their opinion isn't authoritative in some access based way.
Gatekeeping to me would be flaming someone if they don't know some nuance about some character in one particular episode then saying they shouldn't be watching trek at all. They aren't a "real fan."
But we disagree on this most likely. I didn't @ you or reply to you directly as I didn't want to slap fight. I was just discussing with OP who has since deleted. So, dead thread I guess. To be clear: I was addressing the votes primarily.
The original statement surely is a weak opinion on its own, which was hashed out below.
That's not what gatekeeping in fandom is. Gatekeeping is to claim that either some content is not real or that some fan is not a real fan of because of . That is exactly what OP did by claiming that Discovery was not 'real Trek'. They then listed stuff that were personal opinions and ways that they felt about the show as an example of why it isn't Real Trek. They then changed tact entirely when the gatekeeping was pointed out and admitted they were wrong.
They were gatekeeping. This isn't a matter of opinion, that was a matter of fact. You can disagree with that but you'd be wrong. Gatekeeping has no business in any franchise, nevermind Star Trek.
Edit.meh this isn't worth it
I'll edit and close by saying I DO agree with your final sentence. That is very true.
