/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
Pretty much. Star Trek is a great way to frame issues because it also involves the most capable humans (most of the time!) at a time where humanity exists in a utopia. So you basically have peak humans put in these interesting situations with great writing and acting! Stories are still relatable decades after.
And if they're struggling with these issues, the issues must be ingrained in the human condition.
Which is essentially what the show is about - the human condition. Everybody is fucked up in their own way, and that is the heart of the stories.
Perfect people/perfect environments don't make for interesting stories.
Goes right back to the Greeks.
All the more reason why TNG is seen as the start of the "Golden Age." The old rule set by Gene was "no conflict between the crew," but it was far too limiting.
