/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.

He had a female comms officer, why would a female yeoman (an NCO depicted as the captain's PA) seem shocking in that context?
Back then nearly all telephone operators were women.
Clerical work was considered womens work.
The first computers at NASA were programmed by women because typing was clerical and that was for women.
A female comms officer was expected, because in real life they were already accepted in that work.
Tbh I have no idea - it was decades before my time. But he did seem to have a problem with her, especially as a woman somehow, right? So that was just my guess as to why, whatever the in-universe explanation may have been.
