/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.

I don't like these. O'Brien might have held a simple job for a while, but Jesus Christ, the man wasn't a pathetic spineless cuckold.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don’t take this as an actual character of O’Brian. He just had the unenviable position of minor character who commonly did the job most readily taken by ai. The other characters in these don’t escape flanderization for the sake of the joke. In this case Jordi also gets double dunked on for not only making out with holodeck maidens, but with O’Brians wife.

Their names were right there.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago

I agree a little, I like some of these, but I'm not a fan of the Keiko affair ones. They just don't hit for me.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't know that you should worry about a fictional version of an already fictional character.

No one is saying this is Star Trek canon.

I think their point is that it isn’t funny. And I agree. No air exited my nostrils in the reading of this. I just felt a mix of disgust and sadness.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Humor is subjective. I thought it was funny.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 7 points 2 months ago

Subjective and personal. I didn’t mean to imply it’s universally unfunny, though upon rereading my comment that thought definitely didn’t show.

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

There's one story arc that implies this isn't the canon O'Brien, it's the O'Brien who, throughout the multiverse, happens to be the most depressed and pathetic.

I hate when they hit a little close to home..
