/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.

MODERATORS
I grew up in (and eventually left) a conservative Christian church, so I don't have a good idea of how aware normal people are when it comes to the fears and obsessions of that community. From stories like these I think that there's hardly any awareness at all -- which is totally fine! Those beliefs are erroneous and damaging! But two things worth understanding if you want to know why these complaints of theirs are so common (and wrong of course):
Evangelicals believe that if the existence of same-sex attraction is kept secret then no one would ever be gay, and
Evangelicals believe that sexy media leads to horniness, which leads to jerking-off, which is a sin -- whereas horrifying bloody violence does not.
I read the words, but my brain is just screamin "REPRESSED. DEEPLY REPRESSED. AND BITTER."
I would pity them, but they've destroyed too many otherwise innocent lives.
Speak for yourself
