/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.

how I really feel

edit: wanna know the fucked up thing? I went screenshot-hunting on the googles, and I ended up finding an ancient reddit post I made. I couldn’t sanitize the rather awesome reddit account of mine because the fuckbag reddit shits banned it years ago.

I was OkToBeTakei on reddit (among about a dozen other prolific posting and commenting usernames over 18 years, as well as mod of a few notable subs). I made the username as soon as George Take made his video saying that it was Ok To Be Takei in response to Tennessee’s “Don’t ay Gay” bill passed in, 2011. I Mae the account both in protest of the law and to honor Takaei’s stance. link to video.

anyway, here’s the original reddit post about Miles O’Brien and this sonic scewdriver-like device, and me briefly discussing Doctor Who references in Trek: link

I wish I could find the link from this account about a rather amazing r/DaystromInstitute essay I wrote about Dukat and another about Damar, each about 7500 words, and each that won M-5’s post of the week which I no longer have copies of. Some mod may have archives of them, but they’re now lost to anyone else. They were good.

fuck you, reddit.

I'm sure Quark did something to deserve it.

ironically, not that time. he was merely there to demand his duly-owed pest control.
