/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.

Star Wars was based on the past but set in the future. They borrowed "stormtroopers" from Hitler. The space battles are just like WWII dogfights. Star Wars was never looking forward it was looking backwards.
kinda makes sense to me
one is an attempt at a hopeful, logical view of humanities future.. the other has laser swords and magic.
The Expanse: space will always try to kill you, humanity still sucks, everything still hurts, everything is still dirty.
Far superior option. Mostly because it has real space physics with minimal hand waving.
Minimal hand waving
Except for the alien tech. The proto virus or whatever it's called. People talking from the dead. Teleporters to the other side of the universe. Crystals growing out of people's heads. Alien bug swarms. And a whole bunch of other hand-wavey things.
One is a broad base for story telling, the other is one long story about how a single family and their granddad's hetro-lifemate can fuck over an entire galaxy,
And politics, and wealth disparity, so basically the opposite of a utopia.
Well... Star Wars does have a character named Sleazebaggano... So...
I have never watched even a single episode of Star Trek, but I like you guys for your memes.

Okay, call off the mob!

This is actually an interesting rabbit hole. I wonder if it's a meme or if Duke Jizzerstein is actually real. They really went hard into this whole jizz thing. There is literally a track on the album "Let's Jizz With the Duke!" called "Gonna Jizz Tonite"
Edit: it has to be fake. There is literally a track called "Spermulation". Also the website is a giveway that it's likely ai generated https://mrpii.online/
Especially this one:
Either you're into Star Trek and understand the self-burn vibes here or it's just a random not-overly-nerdy shirt.
I just applied for my UK passport and the photo I gave to them was me in a red T-shirt with the TOS delta on it. I'm guessing the delta will be cropped out, but here's hoping.
StarTrek all the way, actual REAL peaceful space communists or religious Knights with magic powers? That's not a hard choice
Everyone thinks I'm super into star wars cause I enjoy building Lego space ships and star wars is the option in that regard. Mind you I've just noticed a Chinese brick company have dropped a giant Enterprise and there's a Rocinante on the way too!
Sometimes, late at night, the Jizz band starts playing more schmaltzy. Schmaltzy Jizz.
Ew.
I refuse to apologize.
Total stranger in a Stargate T shirt. They probably have way more firepower, and enough C4 to solve all my problems.
Star Wars Jizzed right into my ear....
This isn't as funny since Disney renamed it to Jatz
When people conjure mental male representation of Star Wars, they think of fat neckbeard Lucas and the lizard. When they think of Star Trek, they imagine sly silver fox Picard and Datas most probable mechanical prowess.
This tracks.
I'm something of a jizz-wailer myself...
-Riker, probably
Stranger in a Farscape shirt: knows how to party... possible cast or crew member.
If your interstellar society has slavery, I'm not interested. Didn't the Jedi free Luke and just leave his mom in captivity?
Way too many Star Wars fans like the Empire for my taste. (And the rebels aren't much better, if they're better at all.)
That was Anakin Not his son Luke. And Qui-gon tried to free Shmi as well but Watto was too resilient.
I have both tshirts, my trustworthiness also happens to fluctuate wildly based on my apparel.
