Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

This isn't a youtube problem, I was watching some old Star Trek episodes on a stream and everyone in the chat was using racist dog whistles and just spamming the n-word
Old fanbases are the worst and most racist and everyone should avoid them unless they secretly agree with them
Yeah reminds me of Star_Trek on reddit...
It's the same, same with LOTR and Star Wars, and it's always bizarre because the universes are anything but right-wing and never were but they just latch on to anything and ruin it for everyone else. They stole the red-pill metaphor from Matrix this same way.
So now I just stay away entirely from the fanbases and stick only to close friends
This is the only star trek community I post on because it has enough filters to keep out the racist and sexist toxicity crap
