Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock
Welcome to Risa
All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.
Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not Klingon
This is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.
- No harassment, brigading, or trolling
- No bigotry
- Keep the banter playful, not hostile
Rule 2 — No Prohibited Cargo
Some things aren’t welcome aboard.
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
Rule 3 — Keep It Trek
Posts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.
- Crossovers are fine
- Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock
Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.
If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.
Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

Game of thrones is pretty explicitly about "basically all of these people are bastards and even the like two who aren't at least a little bastardy are in a fucked up context and just kinda trying and still do horrible shit because in a setting like that, morality isn't, like, compatible." I can think of like two characters who aren't m9rally compromised, and one of them wishes he could stay dead.
Star trek is explicitly Utopian. Even the darker and edgier spinoff or the irreverent comedy spinoff are still at least partially about this. The episodes are mostly explorations of morality, explicitly, argued between characters like a god damn Socratic dialogue! The characters regularly monologue about it, to the point it being anvilicious and a little corny is one of the things people bring up as a criticism!
You don't have to be 100% on board to enjoy yourself, but, like; you gotta be adjacent.
