Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

Completely agree.

If I would ever be in desperate need of help it would instantly comfort me to see a trekkie or a metalhead. The average wholesomeness is ridiculously high.

[-] PlainSimpleGarak@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

Metalhead trekkie here. I won't let you fall in the pit.

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago

There are several of us!! :D

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 8 points 5 months ago

Metalhead over a trekkie any way. Seven foot tall, face full of piercings, absolute kitten

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 5 months ago

Exactly.

(But also Im running away from a trekkie cosplaying as Neelix ... and assaulting the Tuvix one)

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

I have a mate who literally fills the trifecta lol

Metalhead - Actually plays guitar for a thrash band - piercings to hell and back, seven foot tall, built like a fucking tank, loud motorcycles.

Yes he's a mushball and a raging nerd

You mean the same ones who call every music other than metal "crap" and "not even real music"?

Nah, I will take a Trekkie every day of the week.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 5 months ago

No. Please take your weird issues elsewhere

/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.
