/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.

Aww but he wasn't a creep, he was just genuinely really bad at understanding women and communication in a relationship. Shit, Data got more action.
Laforge : I just don't get it, Guinan. I can field-strip a fusion reactor; I can realign a power transfer tunnel. Why can't I make anything work with a woman like Christy? It's like... I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say.
Guinan : You're doing fine with me.
Laforge : You're different.
Guinan : No, you're different.
Laforge : But I'm not trying now.
Guinan : That's my point.
See, that's fine. If he had taken Guinan's advice to heart and been himself with an actual woman, great! Hell, even if he'd gone with a holodeck character that was fictional or dead, fine! Date Marie Curie for all I care. But dating an "idealized" virtual copy of a fellow Starfleet officer is super creepy.
Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think Geordi's a creep. I just think the writers made him a creep for those two episodes, which is what bothers me.
I think he was more himself on that holodeck than he's ever been with a real woman, but I'm not sure that helps my case that he's not a creep 😆
Nah that's fine. It's good he found an outlet, dating on the holodeck itself isn't a problem. Even if he'd had one of Quark's holosmut programs, it might raise some eyebrows on a starship, but it would ultimately be harmless fun. It was his choice of companion that was creepy, same as Barkley when he had a Troi program.
