/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 also think it's a little harsh on Odo, lol. Someone has to do his job.
ACAB. Abolish the space police.
An episode with Quark leading a protest like that on the promenade would have been amazing.
Yeah I don't like it but I do struggle to argue against it. He cares about justice, and wanted to make sure bajorans got fair treatment (in his area, at least) under the cardassians. But then again he worked for them.
Likewise he got a bit anti-"solid" racist from time to time and had a vaguely sexual relationship with the female founder, but then went back the link, calmed them all down and kind of stopped the war.
I feel like it's one step forward but then also at least one step back.
Still my favourite character so I guess I'm just a hypocrite lol
Complex characters in complex situations make the writing more interesting to me too.
His job of always helping the fascist oppressor side? Because that's what he continuously does.
Someone has to be lawful good in this lineup. Versus the lawful evil of the rest of his people.
Odo is at best LN and more often than not, Lawful Stupid.
