/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. 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.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.

So quick thing. Our community has a rule of 'No bigotry'. Honestly? I think that if you voted for Trump you basically violated that rule. So lemme be clear.
If you voted for Trump, voted for Third Party, or didn't vote at all and you say as much on this community, I will permanently ban you. Yes, I am including Third Party in that. Jill Stein is an open asset of the Russians. More over, a Third Party candidate was never going to win. Your position of a protest vote did nothing other than fuck over everyone else in the country. You are just as bad as the people who did not vote and worse than the people who voted for Trump. At least they were honest about what they were doing. You deluded yourself into believing that a completely different election was happening and actively enabled fascism.
You do not get to call yourself a Star Trek fan when your actions have shown that you go against absolutely everything that it stands for and represents.
Current mood: Discovery episode 3 Stamets
There wasn't really a Stamets on screen that was like the mood I'm currently in because no Stamets actually felt rage. It was always annoyance or frustration or being emotionally hurt. Even the Terran Stamets was more self-concerned and worried.
No, the only comparable Stamets that I could think of was one raised by Klingons and whose parents were killed by Romulans. The only reason I said that I'd ban people here is because that's all I can do. If this was an in person community, I'd be kicking people in the throat until their trachea collapsed.
I think this is more like Discovery Finale Stamets. But not the Stamets on the show, you. Except probably even more this time.
Closer. That was untempered rage that was just unfettered. Didn't know who to blame with all of that absolute fuckery. This time I know exactly who to blame.
Look on the bright side: no Trumper would ever feel welcomed in this community regardless of your declaration - the whole entire community supports this level of thinking, and we are more than just Star Trek. We are STAR TREK!:-)
I hope you find a way to move forward friend.
