/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.

Social Media Post:
Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but theyβre probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

I don't think most NuTrek is utter crap. Some is written for me, some isn't.
SNW and Lower Decks are some of my favorite Trek.
Continuity doesn't matter too much to me, just how the shows make me feel. TOS threw continuity out the window within the first few episodes when they introduced time travel.
Also, if you expect someone to be the same person, fictional or not, 30 years later into their life, you haven't lived long enough. The person who is the same human they were twenty years ago, is someone who has wasted twenty years of their life.
Times change. The new shows have brought in a lot of new fans. That's not a bad thing. Maybe instead of getting angry that new stuff isn't made with your tastes in mind, watch something you enjoy instead.
If style and continuity doesn't matter for you then fine, let them make their shoe exactly how they want it to be, but don't use the star trek name as an bait and switch advertising stunt. If you want to call it star trek, let it BE star trek. Nu trek movies are a horribly bad made rehash of the earlier movies all focussed on CGI and pew pew. The shows are dark and broody crap, the animated shows were skipped after seeing how awful the trailers were. Star trek is done.
You're responding to a comment from a month ago.
Style and continuity in Star Trek has been varied ever since the original movies and TNG.
If you want to hate something, fine. You do you. Waste time and energy being angry about a fictional franchise and move on with your life.
But don't think that your stance of "I don't like it" holds any weight to the people that do.
Yeah, inrespond late. Blame the connect app for that, responding is hard.
In any case, my stance is not "I don't like it", that would be the summary of it. It's much moroe than that, which I already wrote.
You're responding almost a month later again. Get a better app.
And yes. That is your stance. You said a bunch of things you don't like. None of which are objective truths, just opinions.
This is beyond dumb and I'm not responding anymore. Touch grass.
