/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.

Where is Alex kurtzman?
The guy who essentially resurrected Star Trek, produced and co-created the two best star trek shows in at least 20 years? Yes, his work with JJ, Discovery and Picard (and in other franchises) is questionable but without him, we wouldn’t have SNW and LD either…
Yeah but but but he was involved in a couple movies I didn't like and a show I don't like!! Clearly he is satan! /s
If you used that logic before you wouldn't have put Rick Berman in your meme. Saying he made the best Trek in 20 years shouldn't go without saying he made the worst in 20 years too. Alex Kurtzman is as much a villain as Berman.
No. He isn't. The fact you're trying to compare them is more than enough proof that you're ignorant on this subject.
Alex Kurtzman didn't say that you can only come back to the show if you play the product of incessant life long rape.
Alex Kurtzman didn't drive Marina Sirtis to the bring of insanity with contract problems.
Alex Kurtzman didn't repeatedly tell show runners that they couldn't do what Gene wanted to do.
Alex Kurtzman didn't make cast uncomfortable with non-stop highly sexualized moments that detracted from the show and ran it into the ground so badly that the entire series had to be shelved for years.
Alex Kurtzman doesn't abuse cast members.
You just don't like him because he's not making the Star Trek that you personally like. Trying to compare the two is laughable and says a trillion things about you and nothing about Kurtzman.
Man I didn't realize your shitty meme was meant to be taken this seriously. Especially after "worfs parenting" part, or are you now going to write a pointless essay about how Michael Dorn abuses puppies? In the context of this image, Berman and Kurtzman are both show runners and I can compare them on that basic level; they ran the show. I don't need any encyclopedic knowledge to talk about a low brow meme.
Get off your high horse. Your animosity is incredibly cringe and misplaced.
You asked for context and someone gave it to you. I responded to them. You then engaged with me and started furthering comparing the two after context was provided for Berman and how he is objectively worse than Kurtzman. You have been doing nothing other than saying he makes bad Trek, which is entirely based off of an opinion.
There has been no animosity here other than for people who insist that Kurtzman is as bad as a dude who, amongst other things, repeatedly abused and berated women.
I'm not engaging with you further on this.
