Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

No, lol. But I am going to ask you to explain why you think swearing should delegitimize a person’s opinion? What is the logical reason behind your stance?
I just wantesd to hop in here and state that there are no bad words. Words have no inherent morality.
And out of respect I will not type it out, but the F word is one of the most versatile in the language.
I agree, and I personally swear all the time. But I grew up in a family and culture that believed swear words were morally wrong, and had to deconstruct that (among many other things) on my own, so when I see other people expressing beliefs that I used to believe, I like to try to engage with them :)
Good on you! I wish I had the patience to engage evangelicals like that but I went no contact with most of my family because I just can't.
