Many of these comments baffles me. Are you serious about that nothing about the struggle for equality matter? If that is the case why don't you close your minds for every other group that have been shown in Star Trek that has been oppressed through history. Women, Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Natives in all the…
Here is a response from a Star Trek writer by the name David Mack on the same topic of equality in Star Trek. Something we, The Committee for Equality in Star Trek Online, feels is seriously lacking in STO and needs rectifying. This in spite of the arguments against it by various people in this thread.
Have you looked at the human body before? When it is without any clothes on. :D In most cases it is pretty easy to spot which gender someone is without having to ask. But then as I also said, it can be psychological too. That means we're speaking of a biological and psychological gender. It is possible to look female but…
Yes, in a true inclusive culture we do not need it. But with people like I've seen commenting in this thread (as well as the lack of equality in the game and the world), it should be pretty obvious that we are far from there yet. So the same way we had Russians, Japanese, Afro-Americans and Females in charge in TOS we need…
When I am talking about being more evolved, I'm talking about this. It must be great to belong to a group of people that are the typical receiver of advertising, movies, music, books and so on. You're so used to it that you don't even notice it. Yet the heteronormative lifestyle is shoved down everyone's throat everywhere.…
Really? Seems it is Cryptic and you with them that do not understand the point of factions. If factions mean limiting some species from being part of that faction we shouldn't have Klingon Federation characters. Nor should we have Trill Klingon characters. Nor would we have Romulans in either Federation or Klingon…
Let me help you clear that up. No, you're wrong. We would love for Takei to become a part of STO in his role as Captain Sulu, but that is not the only goal of our group.
Yes, they are canine. Selay are reptile and kind of looks like serpents. Antedean are fishlike. No, nothing like that can be made in the alien generator as there are no head templates with snouts.
Well that is actually the point. There is no reason for excluding female Gorn. For the reason you just mentioned. They could simply limit the size of the male Gorn and allow female ones to be larger. Although having access to the female stances and clothing wouldn't be necessary if everyone had access to them, all the…
So serious that I am not sure what you wanted to have said with it. It's no longer missing for Vulcans. Still missing for Romulans. Although I wouldn't care if they were, I'm sure that there are people who would. Shirtless humans are canon. Kirk, Spock, Sulu. All clothes available to a faction should be possible to be worn…
Dev personal lives should be respected. If they are open about it and shares then that is their choice. But this is about equality in the game and in the treatment of the players. It might make sense to you that not acting like LGBTQ is anything special in the future is the way it should be done. But what, if you look back…
I've been waiting since April, still get: "At this time, you may only post replies to threads that have already been created. After a certain amount of time has passed since your registration date, you will be able to create new threads in forums that allow it." Can't find any answer to how long one is supposed to wait…
