/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.

Is it similar to the whole "Nickelback bad" thing? They're generic commercial rock, bland and easy to listen to, but they're not really bad. Their sings got played, placed in the charts and all. For many people "safe" and "easy to listen to" are desirable traits in music, and Nickelback caters to that market quite well.

But then some cunt started making jokes about how much he hated them ("they say rock music doesn't make people violent, but listening to Nickelback makes me want to kill Nickelback") and the jokes somehow took off and I eventually found myself hating a band I'd never actually listened to.

(I mean, the joke is funny. Tasteless, uncalled for but definitely funny.)
