/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.

I wouldn't doubt for the unaware to see it as a pride flag... a white pride flag. Federation or even romulan flags would be ok but Klingons know how to instigate fights.
Yeah... Red background, white circle, black symbol.
I would not fly this flag, if only to avoid confusion with another, infamous flag.
Best to go with the colorful variant of the emblem from TOS, just to be safe.
If you think the Klingon flag is problematic... hooo boy Zeon just takes that cake and scribbles a suspicious mustache on it while raising one arm at a problematic angle.
(And yes, it's totally on purpose, doesn't make it any easier to stomach.)
