/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable, neither is supporting people who actively want to kill those groups. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

What makes you think that?
You mean apart from "Commander" Picard getting on comms and asking for himself?
Referring to the Ready Room as a cabinet was also a bit jarring.
Oh is that what 'cabinet' meant?
Besides a cabinet, where else are you going to put jars?
What would you suggest then?
I would suggest watching Star Trek.
What do you suggest to edit in this meme?
That's the question in a more accessible form just for you.
ed: I watch my third Trek series in russian and I took these screencaps while watching TNG. I may be confused in the protocol, but I'm pissed something called 'A Shitpost' faces auch scrutiny.
I wouldn't suggest editing it. You are totally unfamiliar with the source material. It just doesn't work. The character, who I am guessing you do not know the name of, is an android. He doesn't shit. He also doesn't have emotions, so he wouldn't shit himself with fear.
Are you sure? I heard he's fully functional.
Are you serious? I did these screencaps myself. The episode, s2e09, is literally about who\what Data is.
Then why do you think Data can shit himself in fear, let alone shit at all, think Picard is a commander, not a captain, have him call himself on comms and call his ready room a cabinet?
It’s a shitpost and he at least tried in good faith. So he’s got things to learn. No point in crucifying him over it.
Isn’t this the type of attitude that permeates the other Star Trek related community that eventually spawned tenforward?
Did they try in good faith? Because Picard being a captain is literally in the opening credits of every single episode.
More good faith than you’re putting forward. English obviously is not this persons first language. But sure, go on bullying them if it makes you feel better.
I need to ask you - did you yourself watch Star Trek? How the principles of these series apply to your stupid nitpicking? I asked you what I can or should change, and you answered that I need to watch Trek. Is that in a spirit of what Picard or Cisco may suggest? I doubt so. I can't doubt you know the series on a wikipedia (or memory alpha) level, but you didn't learn from them at all. Is that correct?
Sisko.
But sure, you have to know Star Trek: The Next Generation on an encyclopedic level to know that Picard is a captain.
You can't just watch the show and find that out in every single episode or anything.
Reading comprehension is hard, but I don't blame you.
Like reading the opening credits and comprehending the words "Captain Jean-Luc Picard?"
In spite of you not being helpful, I think I edited out most errors. Two points still stand.
Ben's surname Sisko is pronounced as Cisko in slavic translations because otherwise it sounds like a name for tits. That's on me. Yet, I don't think replacing one letter hurts the overall meaning of the message you didn't even address.
Are you sure Data shat himself in my meme and not Jean-Luc?
That entire last panel makes no sense. How does one “clean one sofa in [his] cabinet”?
Me stoopid, that's why I added the template.
You're perfect TenForward material with that attitude. You'll fit in well.
True. They do seem to be an expert in Star Trek: The Second Incarnation.
So passively agressive.
Honestly, there’s no passive about his aggression. 🤣
I think OP meant to call the ready room a "cabin" and picked a wrong but similar-sounding word.
