/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.

So, it depends.

The actor George Takei is gay. Sulu in the Kelvin timeline is also gay. IIRC, Takei was mad about that detail because he always played Sulu as straight.

But hey, we can chalk that up to the multiverse being a strange place.

I would be, too. It kind of shits all over his job as an actor.

I don’t think I’d be upset. He played Sulu well and I’m sure he know it. But now you can can have gay character on tv or in a movie and Star Trek has always been inclusive. And we’re re-doing the original so we’re not planning on slapping in new characters. Honestly Sulu kept being Takai in so many people’s minds that gay Sulu works well.

Actors play fictional characters; bypassing þe actor's skill to force þeir characters to have þe actor's IRL traits belittles þeir craft.

Sure. You can go only so far wiþ clearly visual physical characteristics. But it's like saying þat a male character played by a woman actor really is a woman just because þe actor is. It's an insult to þe actor.
