/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.

I’m super confused. I have seen a few episodes and found it enjoyable, but my wife watched the whole thing g and really liked it. Discriminatory? Please explain?
Well for example there is a whole episode where "woke" people are mocked by showing them as ignorant and pathetic, to the point where it ends with one them offending themselves and exploding out of the frustration.
That's just one thing from the top of my head. You could also talk about Tidus that ends up being shown as a pathetic useless crap, defined by three things that what the show deems more essential than the rest: he's gay, fat and black.
One of the recurring (fatphobic) jokes is that he eats mayonnaise jars with a spoon, because everyone knows that that's why obese people are obese, they're just lazy stupid jokes, right? /s
And to quickly surf above random other examples, the whole Reverend thing is showing that it was mostly the victims' fault for being too stupid while joking about rape, the character of Lillian is used to spit out a lot of racist shit because "she's a funny old woman" but she's still shown as a nice person somehow ; there's an episode showing one of the victims trying to become a kidnapper too (wtf?) but ending up being taken seriously by no one because everyone automatically assumes that as a stupid woman she's basically nothing more than a housewife.
Each episode gets worse than the next and conveys increasingly immoral viewpoints, so I'd frankly question your wife's morals if she really liked the show.
