Sulu just smoldering.

They're all wearing the wrong color uniforms.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

I found it!

It's Bones. Where are his feet? He's apparently wearing a skirt, but where does it end?

This has "this is the future that liberals want" kind of vibes.

We all know the issues they're having because of the missing seatbelts. Now imagine someone of them wearing rollerblades.

Instant slap stick comedy!

Uhura in the Captain's chair. She should be on comms. Kirk is supposed to be in the chair.

She is where she should have been from the start

WTF? Star trek casually normalizing the n word?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@lugal I mean it's not *quite* THE n-word, although it's commonly discouraged, outside of the UNCF. in lincoln's time, it would have probably been seen as genteel. especially compared to whatever words Johnny Rebs would have used.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Isn't it just the female version? Like actor/ actress. It's dated now but I guess in the 60s it wasn't.

So it's even anachronistic for Lincoln to think it's a slur word.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In Lincoln's time, 'Negress' would have been the genteel term. It was still fairly common in the 1960s, as was Jewess.

Look up "The Autobiography of Malcolm X" for a discussion of the fight to change the term from 'Negro' to 'Black.'

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Let me get that straight: Malcom X was about the time of TOS right? So he fought against the N word while Star Trek was like "let's join the other team"

I get that it was in discussion back then and the message "don't think too much about language" is one I agree with but maybe don't encourage people to use a word that the black community tries to eliminate

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

@lugal Well, yes. This manifestation of Lincoln had been apparently living happily post-death on this planet and was aware of the changes to the universe somehow. So he was aware that language had changed since his time.

Certainly the word is discouraged now but it's not really at all at the level of the other N word.

(Uhura's response is an interesting one that doesn't resonate in the modern era, despite probably being considered akin to woke at the time, I dare say.)

Uhura's on the Captain's chair
Captain's chair
Captain's chair
Uhura's on the Captain's chair
Captain's chair, Jim!

It's worse than that, there's Spock skates

Sulu’s going Brokeback,

Brokeback, Brokeback

Sulu’s gonna get his back broke, Jim!

Ayyyyy the bottom guy is rizzing me up

What's wrong with preparing for an away mission?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Seriously, what is wrong with the picture?

I genuinely want to know what the expected answer is. Cause, I agree with OP. Not a damn thing is wrong here.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Well Spock wearing both rollerblades and boxing gloves is wrong. Have you tried boxing with rollerskates on? It takes the power right out of your punches.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Nobody happy. :(

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

There are three people wearing hats inside. That's all I can come up with.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Now I want a poster that just says "what's wrong with this picture"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

“what’s wrong with this picture”

Well, for one thing, there should be a question mark.

Right;

One of the little jokes that I mainly tell for my own amusement. Always a pleasure to be caught in the act
