/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

Your parents would love Gene's original idea for Ferengi

I haven't heard this one, what was it?

Edit: I should watch DS9 apparently. I'll get there. Someday.

A quick Google gave me this:

It was his idea that it was by law that no female Ferengi could even own clothing, let alone wear it. The fact that women are not allowed to make profits was decided early on. It’s almost like [a] Victorian industrial revolution kind of attitude toward women, which is they should be home, taking care of kids and they shouldn’t even be wearing clothes because that just gets in the way and it costs money. There’s no profit in that!

Thank God they changed that

They didn’t change it, that’s was the official lore.

What they did do was use DS9 and Quark’s mother Moogie to write a suffragette movement subplot which gave Ferangi women equal rights over time.

They played with it in DS9.

Quark is disgusted his mom is a "twisted degenerate" that campaigns for (Ferengi) women's rights and wears clothes around the house and such.

The real lore is ferengi have HUGE gonads. I'm talking visibly noticeable bulge.
