/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.

I watched the orphan black reboot. Pretty much all the women are lesbians. I think it was the only way to make the plot line work. But I'm like. ... In the real world it's just not THAT common.

I mean I laughed just cause it seemed like they had to make all the women gay to make the new story work with the previous story.

If you watch it you will get what I mean. I wasn't bothered by it though. Just amused a bit. Never seen so many lesbians in a TV show like that.

They did do it well though. Didn't stoop to using stereotypes or the masculine-fem pairing that is prevalent in gay media representation.

My gay friend says that cis producers can't imagine genuine gay couples that don't have a man-woman dynamic (mostly cause of cultural gender roles in a relationship ), So they always project this onto gay couples. I think he's right about that.
