/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

It wouldn’t be Lemmy without the preteen eyeroll!

Swing and a miss by a couple decades too. But good job trying to infantilize criticism. I know it probably hurts when people point out flaws or things you don’t understand in things you like.

So there's real age/mindset-based tension in the trek community over series and/or generational themes - that a joke about nudity is a huge red flag?

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The nudity is not the red flag, the everything else included/implied by the comic that’s wildly inappropriate and gross(which is a common aspect of boomer humor), especially for Star Trek, is the red flag.

Can you expand a bit? My understanding of boomer humour is that it's sexist or racist, but I'm not seeing it here

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

They don't like sex jokes, they want a better sounding reason than that though.
