/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.
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.
~ 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.

Humans rant about going to heaven but they also believe the soul goes back into a newborn child
The royals stood guard over the queen but the tibetans leave their dead to be eaten by animals.
Then we have the indians who barbecue their dead
Which is it
That's fair. Humans have diverse cultures.
That being said, especially in matters of after death beliefs, humans won't say "humans believe...", they'll add specificity by saying "Catholics believe", or drop the universal quantifier of "humans" and just say "I/we" leaving the exact contextual bounds ambiguous in the case of "we".
At least in the Star Trek I've seen, Klingons are pretty fucking happy to say it's the KLINGON way. The KLINGON belief. The KLINGON tradition. Pretty explicitly setting the bounds.
Entirely possible that every subculture is so enamoured with themselves that they really don't consider other Klingon cultures "true Klingons". So that's an explanation.
But even with that, we even see Worf, the same singular Klingon, giving IMO two contradictory versions. Although as another has said, he might have just made one up to be a comfort to a friend.
Well, one infamous trek instance of a human speaking for all is who mourns for adonais: "Mankind has no need for gods. We find the one sufficient"
Klingons are full of braggadocio and disdain for what they perceive as the sheeplike homogeneity of the Federated planets - the Klingon claims have always struck me as less "this is what my culture is" and more "we are not the fucking federation"
That's another great point. People do seem pretty comfortable speaking about their species as a whole in Star Trek, not just Klingons.
