/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.

You can make this whole spectrum with unambiguous and canonical Discovery characters alone.

  • Lesbian: Jett
  • Gay: Stamets & Culber
  • Bisexual: Georgiou
  • Transgender: Gray
  • Queer: Adira (Non-Binary)
  • Plus: Michael Burnham, who’s also involved for some reason

To say nothing of the representation on Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds. New Trek’s been killing it.

Georgiou: Bisexual

When she starts flirting with Stamets, he says that he's always been gay. She then responds with "Don't be so binary". Makes me think she's probably closer to Pansexual

[–] FlatFootFox@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

True, but it makes for less amusing acronym jokes.

Also, whoops, I really should have checked the username before Discovery-splaining in the comments. I know you’ve been back for a bit, but good to see you around Stamets. 👋

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Oh 100℅, I'm just being a pedantic ass lol

And don't... Don't take a look at my posting history for today then lol 115 posts in a very short period of time. I have a problem.

As for DSC, I know it well but doesn't mean I am wrong on stuff occasionally. Besides I like seeing other references to DSC that I haven't made lol

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Definitely pansexual. She will dominate all, not just men and women.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 26 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Something ain't right.

Jadzia isn't Lesbian and Dax would fit more in the Trans category.

And on the Trans category that's a J'naii right? Wouldn't that make them be a more fitting representation of A or I?

But what to fit in Intersex or then Agender?

Nonbinary? Which for the binary folks you'd have to have a Binar

[–] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

And on the Trans category that’s a J’naii right? Wouldn’t that make them be a more fitting representation of A or I?

I think that’s Soren specifically, who was assigned agender at birth but identified as female. So trans suits.

Agreed an Dax, though - definitely pansexual, not a lesbian.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I love how Q is his own thing. Clearly not cishet, but refusing to be in any category with mortals.

[–] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Very queer, indeed!

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Didn’t we meet his wife in that one episode?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] death_to_carrots@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So … selfcest?

Are the Q actually different entities, or are they after their apoteaosis just different facets of the same "individuum"?

Was the whole "civil war" just a play of an infinite bored creature?

TURN IT! TURN IT TO COFFEE!

[–] fuckgod@feddit.online 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I feel like (fuzzy memory of DS9 here, so feel free to slap me with facts) Bashir seemed more biromantic than bisexual. I never got the feeling he wanted inside Miles' pants. He just wanted to spend all his time with him.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This comment is Garak erasure

[–] fuckgod@feddit.online 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah I felt the same about them as I did him and Miles. I could be forgetting something, but I just didn't get (or remember, is been about 12 years since I watched it) the sensation he wanted to bang anyone except Jadzia. Even Ezri he just wanted to be best friends with.

[–] fuckgod@feddit.online 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I have, up until I was too broke to keep Paramount. I think I've only missed the last season.

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope you can find a ship somewhere to carry you over the sea to that last season.

[–] fuckgod@feddit.online 1 points 1 week ago

Oh I haven't had a working PC since before Christmas and I'm not doing all that on my phone. I'd rather just wait and see it on my regular screen.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wouldn't Jadzia Daz be pansexual? Or bisexual? Or... Something not easily defined by human standards due to the whole symbiote relationship?

[–] fuckgod@feddit.online 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Definitely not lesbian. Put Reno there for sure.

I don't know how to categorize Dax. I don't think we know enough about the symbionts to even know if they're sexual at all, much less how they fit in the sexual spectrum. (or at least if we do, I don't remember. I wasn't friendly to the spectrum myself last time I watched DS9. I still shudder at the memory of who I was brainwashed to be)

I don't remember what we knows about Kira, but she always seemed like she had very lesbian energy to me. Again, it's been since 2013 since I've watched that show, so I bet it was revealed, but I can't remember myself. But whatever she is, you gotta admit she seems like she could be.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't remember what we knows about Kira

Kira was, I think, exclusively shown being romantically interested in Men. First Bareil, then Shakaar and lastly Odo near the end of the show. Mirror Universe Kira was a completely loose cannon though.

[–] fuckgod@feddit.online 2 points 1 week ago

Now that you mention it, the name Bareil does ring a bell. And the Odo pairing sounds vaguely familiar too.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 8 points 1 week ago

Data makes the perfect +, because his brain is made from Positrons!

[–] ezekielmudd@reddthat.com 5 points 1 week ago

Wow! Very clever Sir! 👏🏻 Good work! <Genuine - no snark>

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Excuse me?! How is Bashir in Bi when mirror Kira is all over everyone, man and woman, and that is obviously just a reflection of how Kira is, just the evil version.

I am willing to chalk up the undertones with Garak up to media at the time being afraid to portray gay men. I’m super glad that Discovery got a chance to do that. But still, he’s not the poster child of the show for bisexuality!!

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Is the B doing triple duty?
