Hey crew! The new Star Trek show Starfleet Academy is starting this week, and it’s already sparking some heated/controversial discussions online. While opinions may differ, let’s keep our community a safe space where everyone can enjoy the series without fear of harassment or attacks.
- Be civil and respectful toward other members. Disagreeing with an opinion is fine, attacking the person who posted it is not.
- Critique the show, not the fans. Constructive feedback, jokes, or memes about Starfleet Academy are welcome as long as they don’t target or harass fellow community members.
- Report abusive behavior. If someone crosses the line into personal attacks, let the moderators know so we can keep the discussion healthy.
It is okay to not like the show. It is okay to be critical, but please be civil. Let’s set the example for a welcoming, inclusive fandom.
Reminder as well:
~ 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.
Engage, discuss, and most importantly, have fun.
If anything, I’d argue it to have the reverse problem, where it’s been gradually less progressive over time, since the network isn’t as willing to take risks with the property, now it’s a relatively safe cash cow.
Where’s the Star Trek show that people threaten to pull off the air because it is at the social cutting edge?
Yeah this is a great point.
Also, Star Trek is owned by MAGA now. It’s aimed directly at their most desirable and important recruiting demographic, so they are going to transition it to be a mouthpiece for the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
