/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. 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.

Have you ever thought about why you include his name though? Merely bc that's how it's been done before? Why not just say "fuck"? (I am partial to "oh fuck me" personally) Surely the inclusion of the name signifies something, whether you personally thought it through or not?
And then more importantly is how it makes others around you feel. If I were to say "damn those gays" every time I was angry... without ever questioning why, then would that similarly be allowable? Even if I had never so much as met a gay person in my life, and none of the people overhearing me was gay, and let's further stipulate the highly unlikely scenario that I was not even aware of what the term meant. The word "gay" actually does have meaning to people, generally speaking, as too does "Jesus", it's not simply an expletive - it has a whole history and backstory that just about everyone in the world is aware of.
