/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. 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.

Yeah but everyone else found it normal. Weren't there even schools named after him? Maybe I'm misremembering.
And yeah if did happen before he went full mask-off. But there was still accusations of weird behaviour towards women, still overworking employees, still massive union-busting efforts, etc.
There are schools today still named after confederate generals. I will think of you as bad for idolizing them but I wouldn't find it super strange if someone listed a school named after one.
Meh, it sucks that it was added at all but I think it aged well personally.
SpaceX probably will go down in history as an important step in space flight. Star Trek's 23rd century apparently didn't solve the problem of giving too much credit to historical monsters who were technically in charge of things.
Think Edison or Christopher Columbus. They've gotten a lot of reeximination in recent decades for being assholes, but they were heroes in the popular imagination for a long time.
