/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.

I can't get over the fact that all of Chakotay's native American stuff is just made up. XD

[–] GraniteM@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

And "Jamake Highwater" got exposed like ten years before they hired him to consult for Voyager! What the actual fuck?!

Can't offend a culture that doesn't exist. Offend them all equally by ignoring them instead.

[–] _Nico198X_@piefed.europe.pub 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry I'm not really sure what you're saying. XD

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

My guess is that they deliberately chose not to portray any existing culture so as to not offend them by getting something wrong on screen. Also allows them to come up with whatever the plot needs. However, by doing so, they can't help but mildly offend all native American cultures by simply ignoring their existence.

If I recall, they tried to be authentic but hired a fraud by accident. XD

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Unfortunately, they hired a known fraud. Jamake Highwater was exposed in the 80's, but brought on board in the 90's. Not a good look.

[–] _Nico198X_@piefed.europe.pub 6 points 9 hours ago

Even worse! XD

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 points 8 hours ago

Jamake me crazy with all the plot twists!

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 5 points 10 hours ago

Oh shit. That's unfortunate.
