/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.

See statements like that are what make women uncomfortable even in countries where they are allowed to go top free. Don't be so weird to strangers please.
You inferred "be weird to them", which was nowhere in my jokey comment. Remind me where we are on the "people should enjoy things" to "walk around like emotionless drones" scale? Don't ogle, be weird to, or make people feel uncomfortable in public?? Yeah. That should go without saying, but of course some people do need to hear it. So don't do that.
But if you're a male, you're probably very visually-oriented and notice these things. I check out men and women, almost as a reflex. I'm straight, and it's not a sexual thing, I just see it all. So if you put a painting, a sunset, a topless person, or a flower in front of me, I'm going to look at it. The key is to appreciate it subtly and without making anyone uncomfortable. I'm sorry if this sounds incel-y, but I guarantee it's true for most men...
