/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.

MRW I finally watch Lower Decks and realize that "adult animation" doesn't mean "boring to children", and just means "violence, profanity, and sophomoric humor" (media1.tenor.com)

The Fun Police really misinterpreted this. This is not saying anything about how good or bad LD is. I was just expecting something more like what TAS was to TOS. Other than the fact that TAS episodes were half the length and that the animated nature allowed them to afford to depict more exotic things like underwater scenes and six-limbed bridge crew members, TOS/TAS were mostly the same. They had roughly the same degree of adventure, philosophy, humor, etc. On the other hand, LD targeted a different audience by focusing on qualities that had not been prioritized in any earlier series. I was just disappointed by how different LD is from TAS.

I've never seen a feed of this that doesn't have the profanity censored out. Is it just always sanitized or am I just not finding the adult version?

I watched the first four episodes or so and what I noticed the most was how it seemed like every character was either yelling or speaking at high volume the whole time. It was exhausting. I really like R&M and I know this is from one of the key creatives on that show so it was super disappointing.

Four episodes don’t define a single season (especially when it’s the first season) let alone an entire show with five of them.

I’m disappointed in this community. Someone voices an opinion that is contrary to the majority and, instead of lively discussion, I see dogpiling? To be fair, there is discussion, but in the past I saw any attempts at dogpiling being cut at the start. I see it flourishing here. I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.

Three threads disagreeing is piling on?

This issue is not unique to this community.

It didn’t use to happen here.

Hard to say, but I hear you. It could have gone unnoticed to you before this.

Anyway, I've found Lemmy a decent place to consume content but across most other popular communities it is very polarized, very quick to purity test / cry foul "gatekeeper!" / Expel dissent .

No where more than here have I learned that you won't convince others to change their mind or consider alternatives. It's best to just play along, up vote what you agree with, and keep moving.
