Oh look. It’s this one again. Honestly that list is like the worst fanfic from the people who would be banned by the horney hammer. Stop being suckered in and let the stories an characters tell their own story. You know why no one goes on about this shit in Star Trek? Because it’s not supposed to matter. Aspire to this.

You sound like an awful human being to interact with. I hope someone gives you a hug and a cookie so you won’t be so grumpy.

Many of those who worked on trek from the very beginning would very much disagree with you.

This video is a great essay that backs up the above statement in a few different ways: https://youtu.be/j5_g1DY1FLg

I encourage you to sift, if not watch through it. It’s not exactly short and succinct but it takes you through a journey of trek history in the context of LGBTQ, and as it goes on draws more and more parallels to other trek projects beyond DS9 and JulianxBashir, in addition to general film history on the subject of both LGBT and civil rights.

Create post

/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.
