/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. 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.

The Bene Gesserit probably come the closest to being the "good guys/girls" by the end.
Everything they do is based on the mind numbing insanity that they have due to the fact that they can perceive every horrific action men have ever done to any woman that exists in "other memory".
The Bene Gesserit's sole existence is based upon stopping the evil and violence of men no matter the cost.
Nothing says "good guys" like eugenics.
Yes, but to them it's like breeding wolves to make domestic dogs.
Eugenics is getting rid of a race ... the BG are trying to get rid of man's ability to do evil.
Except there are still wolves around...
In Dune? Yes, the evil and brutal houses are still there. Mostly because Jessica messed up the breeding program. She basically made an uncontrollable war god that killed trillions.
Pobody's nerfect!!! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is reading comprehension that bad? No, there are still wolves around in real life because we didn't kill the original species/gene pool of dogs, so it's not genocide when we made wolves into dogs. Making men docile through genetic manipulation, such as breeding, is still genocide because making sure the original race/Genepool of normal/violent men is eradicated is the end goal.
Are debate skills and communication that bad? I agree comprehension is lacking, but that is only because you are trying to debate a tactic you know nothing about.
The BG do not genetically manipulate everyone, that would be impossible. They are just trying to create a god tier guard dog caste of humanity loyal to them and thus force all the other "wolves" to heel.
Pulling teeth is not genocide. People like you think that that the domestic pig is the most common species and that we have all but eliminated the tusked variety ... with no clue that the farmer actually just pulls those teeth so they never grow.
