/c/TenForward: 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.

Can't let women have even a Mother's Day thread without addressing men instead, and reducing women to their sex potential, can you?
I don't disagree with your point, but in fairness there is a particular way women tend to become mothers
I'm all for women's sensuality. I just despise that a top level comment on a Mother's Day post is some guy hoping all the men here are getting laid.
Skips right over women altogether, reduces them to a sexual object in relationship to men.
A "women like sex, too" post isn't what we're talking about. And I do. But we aren't even allowed to have a single thread where women exist and it's not as an accessory? Not even in the comments on a Mother's Day post?
Not cool. Not fair.
I'll post something along the lines of, "Ladies, I hope all your husband's are respectful and considerate as Picard" on a Father's Day post and let's watch that get downvoted into fucking oblivion.
Well said. Completely agree on all points.
There's a sort of implicit hidden sexual aspect to motherhood only in the sense that sex is what makes children, and for some people even that tiny little connection is enough to override all ability to read social situations apparently...
They've taken the Whores and Madonnas mindset so far that now even the incident that involves conceiving a child undoes all your value as a mother. They boil down something like Mother's Day to "woman who got laid once day," like it's an excuse to invalidate celebrating women.
Disgusting.
