Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.

“We never USED to have to see gay people grumble grumble.”
Yeah because they were oppressed and underground! What the fuck, how simple can this get?
"I noticed that those other people exist and and are living their lives, so you must stop shoving them DoWn OuR ThRoAtS!!"
I can't believe the people complaining about this. Have these people never met a gay soldier before?
The thing that gets me is that so many people are talking about a fucking KISS ON THE CHEEK.
But they aren't talking about the fact that this Klingon guy is so different from other Klingons that he didnt want to participate in a hunt and shoot a bird??!
There are many things to complain about, but this gay relationship isn't one of them 👏
Ugh
Low hanging fruit at best from lazy writers who heard the word "Klingons" and "progressive" so went with this
Seriously, had I seen a gay Klingon on TNG I would have completely gone with it because TNG had (mostly) great writers that would make some awesome episode about it that would make you think and talk about it for days.
But this being nu trek, I suppose the guy will remind everyone 5 times each episode that he's gay. He's a Klingon but they'll make him effeminate, even though female Klingons not once not ever were like that. They'll make him use all sort of modern sassy expressions or something and all the open moral and ethical questions that TNG would do will be completely 100 % if ores because why make an intelligent show if you can just virtue signal and call it a day?
Modern trek sucks sooooo bad, and yes, I'm so happy I stopped watching as it was making me depressed. Star trek, of all things, was making a progressive person depressed. Fuck nu trek.
Make him wear the female klingon attire and then never mention hes gay again, itd make peoples heads explode
It's also the first time I remember seeing a Klingon medical researcher but I don't see anyone getting bent out of shape about his unusual, you might say progressive, career path for some reason
It’s a super masculine race of warriors that has two of every organ, including that one, I mean …
Nobody saw that coming from the delta quadrant away?
Nothing's more manly and warrior-like than two men getting it on obviously, but the feminization of klingons is problematic.
I'm assuming this is from SFA, which I haven't watched. But weren't Klingon women like, strong and ferocious as fuck? Based entirely on what I can remember Worf saying, it seems like Klingon sex is always initiated by the female literally assaulting the male, and then they're married after.
But weren’t Klingon women like, strong and ferocious as fuck?
Exactly. Klingon women are more manly than one of the protagonists (a supposedly male klingon) in SFA.
This is all of course fiction so whatever. I wouldn't make daily video posts about it even though I think it's a bit off.
Not always no. In Generations when Soren punches one of the Duras sisters she tells him he'd better have been initiated a Klingon mating ritual. And in the De-evolution episode Worf bit Troi in the face claiming her as his mate.
That's right. I remember now. In that case, I'd say it's damn near impossible to tell the difference and I'd be surprised to learn that most Klingons don't swing both ways, at least a little.
We're pretty sure they have two penises, maybe ones for boys and ones for girls.
Wait. Klingons weren't gay?
StarFuck Academy is a blight upon the Star Trek Universe.
Would you say it's more or less of a blight than faith of the heart?
If the existence of a gay klingon is the worst day of your life, I can't even begin to explain how good you must have it.
Didn’t Seth Mcfarlane make two gay Klingons based on lore?
Moclans. And without spoiling one of the best setting development arcs I have ever seen in sci-fi, it went very quickly from being a gay joke to being an absolutely gripping drama.
the moclans, were genderless/hermaphroditic race. they were traditionally MALE(according to thier society) and could lay eggs which produce male/female offspring. orville took elements from the cogenitor epsiode of enterprise, and the genderless race in tng.
Wait, you're telling me these SciFi Spartan analogs are GAY?!
When will the Woke end? Next you're going to tell me the Trill are gender fluid!
Is that what those symbiotes are swimming in?

Recently I've been considering learning about Warhammer 40k. I think the deep lore is cool and space marines are a neat concept. But apparently there's this big issue about whether or not women can serve as space marines.
So I briefly looked into it and whether or not the issue is sexism based or lore based, and it seems to be somewhere in the middle, but definitely meta perpetuated by casual sexism. It feels very much like this comic.
Also feels like seeing an interesting box, looking in excitedly, realizing what's inside and having my enthusiasm sucked out of the airlock, and just... Letting the box lid close and then walk away.

Did we ever see Gowron kiss a girl or talk about his wife? No? Gay. It just wasn't a big deal, so they didn't mention it.
Does someone have an issue with Jay’Den? I think he’s a great klingon. And who says he’s gay? He might be bi/poly like his dads.
Also his sexuality isn’t any more in your face than caleb and tarima and all their smooching.
People will seriously complain about anything won’t they?
