/c/TenForward: 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

Someone needs to research the concept of Shudō...πŸ˜‚

Many warrior castes were VERY gay... haven't they seen the movie 300!?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 day ago

All those macho Klingons, packed on those Warbirds for years? You don't think there's been a little Slap & Tickle going on?

β€œWe never USED to have to see gay people grumble grumble.”

Yeah because they were oppressed and underground! What the fuck, how simple can this get?

β€œWe never USED to have to see gay people grumble grumble.”

You saw them, they just had to hide it in fear of threats, ridicule and abuse

"I noticed that those other people exist and and are living their lives, so you must stop shoving them DoWn OuR ThRoAtS!!"

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

But these people think a good show is Last Man Standing where he dumps political commentary every episode and endlessly rips on his illegitimate grandson's dad for not being manly, anti-Obama rhetoric, pro-military progun...

'I didn't mind the gays when they kept 'em all in California...'

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

"I don't mind gays so long as they don't shove it down our throats all the time"

Says the guy who exclusively wears UA Freedom shirts and their personally revolves around maga hats/flags, thinblueline punisher skulls, and wE tHe PeOpLe

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can't believe the people complaining about this. Have these people never met a gay soldier before?

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

They have, even if they think they haven't.

[–] zabby@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The thing that gets me is that so many people are talking about a fucking KISS ON THE CHEEK.

But they aren't talking about the fact that this Klingon guy is so different from other Klingons that he didnt want to participate in a hunt and shoot a bird??!

There are many things to complain about, but this gay relationship isn't one of them πŸ‘

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

These people aren't watching the show, they're just being outraged by the item of the day.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

A GAY KLINGON? THATS OUTRAGEOUS!

{What's a Klingon?}

[–] zabby@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

You're probably right! Anybody who's watched it can tell the ratings dropped because it was a slow, relatively uninteresting episode. Not because of a few seconds of a non-straight relationship. πŸ‘

[–] SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone 65 points 3 days ago (10 children)

Gay people: Exist and their relationships are depicted in media alongside straight ones, with the same emphasis

Dumb Motherfuckers: WHY ARE YOU MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF PEOPLE BEING GAY? STOP SHOVING IT DOWN OUR THROATS!

[–] djdarren@piefed.social 27 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I wish someone would shove some gay down my throat.

Wait, you're telling me these SciFi Spartan analogs are GAY?!

When will the Woke end? Next you're going to tell me the Trill are gender fluid!

Is that what those symbiotes are swimming in?

A warrior's sexuality!

[–] teft@piefed.social 49 points 3 days ago (11 children)

Does someone have an issue with Jay’Den? I think he’s a great klingon. And who says he’s gay? He might be bi/poly like his dads.

Also his sexuality isn’t any more in your face than caleb and tarima and all their smooching.

People will seriously complain about anything won’t they?

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 60 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I have an issue with him being named Jayden.

If the existence of a gay klingon is the worst day of your life, I can't even begin to explain how good you must have it.

It’s a super masculine race of warriors that has two of every organ, including that one, I mean …

Nobody saw that coming from the delta quadrant away?

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 27 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Did we ever see Gowron kiss a girl or talk about his wife? No? Gay. It just wasn't a big deal, so they didn't mention it.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 2 days ago (6 children)

He was seeking glory(holes)

Klingons should be like ancient earth warriors.

Totally gay
