/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.

A lot of Star Wars fans are either idolizing the Empire and the Dark Side for their positions of power and control, or the Space Wizards who go out of their way to be naive and get struck down for the better good. If they're not wearing rebel gear, they're not default trustworthy.

If someone watches enough Trek to wear the gear and is open about it, they are at least not against diversity and equality in their fantasy choices.

I have 2 Trek shirts, 3 Star Wars, 2 Doctor Who, and a Stargate shirt. Where do I fall?

But one of my Trek shirts is a blue Andorian Mining Consortium shirt, (They run from no one) and it's so awesome.

If I was bleeding out in the street, and you approached me to help in a Doctor Who shirt, I would pretend I'd already died.

I honestly don't even know what a star trek shirt would be (unless they mean the literal shirts they wear)

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

You sent me on a fun search rabbit hole.

It's tough to pick my favourite. The faux band shirt or the whatever you call this.

Shirts depicting the franchise not shirts the actors wear

Star Trek fans will help you fix the problem—Star Wars fans might become the problem 😂

This has more to do with popularity than star wars or strek itself.

[–] Lifter@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd say the opposite, actually. Star Wars is so mainstream that any douche could wear a T-shirt. Trek is a niche.

That's what im saying, tho.

I'd wear a Blake's 7 shirt if there was an iconic logo that wasn't also the emblem of the fascist reigime in-universe.

The bland target logo from Series D doesn't really appeal to me.

[–] arcine@jlai.lu 4 points 1 month ago

Star Wars is too widely popular for much to be inferred by the shirt, whereas Star Trek fans tend to be more alike : nerdy, generally nice.

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 month ago

I feel like it says more about the values of the fans than anything else. This isn't too say that Star Wars fans are bad as a fandom, but that Star Trek fans are more likely to help in times of need.

Disney tax.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

disney practically turned SW into slop like MCU.
