/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.

For those folk, my guess is they cherry pick all the flaws and celebrate them, like the:
They take all the flaws introduced to each race and celebrate those as evidence of an ideal. These folks don't realize that each race has a flaw in them to show their imperfection.
I think it's much simpler than that. They watch it for the pew pew space battles and ignore the messaging.
Anyone who watches Star Trek for the space battles must REAAAALLLY be into delayed gratification.
For the most part they have a reasonably generous pacing of violence throughout many (if not most) episodes. The ones that don't probably get panned by these people as 'one of the boring ones'
VOY was probably the one with the most pew-pew per season and it was the most watched series on Netflix, back before Paramount+.
Violence yes, starship combat not so much (in the TV shows anyway). I love watching the battles from the movies but yeah, that shit's expensive yo!
Hey, we don't have to get personal here :(
They must have very complex feelings about the moclans if they also watch Star Trek adjacent shows.
