TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.

Absolutely a product of its time. Wouldn't pass muster by today's standards, but viewed as a window into the past's vision of the future makes it worthwhile. They still pushed boundaries and tried to get away with plenty, but yeah, lots of underbutt and fainty-dainty female characters.
I'm gonna stick with it, keep watching. Have watched all other star treks repeatedly most of my life. Seeing TOS for the 1st time, definitely a window into the past, but I'm liking the positive aspects of it. Can understand now how it's been so long lasting, all the different versions, where it all started.
Glad to know it hasn't disheartened your outlook. I started out with TNG, then rolled back to TOS. Definitely a stark contrast, but great in its own way.
TNG was my 1st trek too. Having watched all star treks over the decades, it's fascinating, the diversity, different approaches, how it's evolved as society has evolved.
There are some really really great episodes, and some seriously terrible ones. For me the high points far outweigh the low points and the bad stuff you can usually laugh with due to its age.
And these days it's hottub streams and a plethora of other even worse lewd content. It's most certainly accepted by today's standards they just have to 'choose' to do it instead of some executive dictating it.
