/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.

You realize, of course, that you’re complaining about a use of language that is in fact most commonly used by Christian’s?
Hrm I did not know that but then all the more reason not to do it?
"Jesus Fucking Christ!" - just think about it for a moment, how is that "okay"? Perhaps when they do it one could arguably... no I can't see it even then. But I will think about it some more.
So, like, you’re acting like you’re being persecuted here.
this is not that.
It’s a simple fact that the majority of people using some form of “jesus” as an exclamation are Christians and they’re not being prejudicial towards themselves.
I am not going to obey your religious proscriptions. I’m certainly not going to be too bothered by it when you’re proscriptions are particularly rare, even among people who broadly share your faith.
If you want to be offended, that’s your problem. Insisting others modify their behavior is not appropriate. Especially since you’re equating it to “Christian’s are being killed.”
Fucking hell. You’re not being persecuted here. Probably not even wherever you are. And I’d be willing to bet you don’t know anyone who’s been killed because they were a Christian. Take a beat and chill.
I do not feel persecuted. I don't like seeing "others" get ragged on, regardless. I should clarify: individuals who deserve it absolutely should get railed on; the distinction is when the ragging moves above the stage of the individual and to an entire class of individuals. The literal definition of a bigot is "One who is narrow-mindedly devoted to their own ideas and groups, and intolerant of (people of) differing ideas, races, genders, religions, politics, etc." I did not make this definition up, nor it seems can I explain it to someone who does not want to know (as your hand-picking of some of my answers to directed questions, ignoring the larger context, would seem to to indicate: I know, reading is hard sometimes), so I will stop here. You may chalk it up to simply a misunderstanding or... whatever you like, I suppose.
