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.

OK, for those like me who had no idea who this punter is:
Wiki link.
don't forget to call the Chicago Clitoris "The Bean" he hates that.
TIL that The Bean is actually called "Cloud Gate".
no one calls it that except Anish Kapoor. just call it The Bean, or Illinois's Clitoris.
It's obviously an internationally known iconic landmark and I was 100% convinced it was "The Bean". If I got asked that in a pub quiz and didn't get the point for "The Bean" or "The Chicago Bean" I'd be raging.
I will only ever refer to it as "The Bean". Bonus points that it annoys him.
If we all call that, then that is the name. that's how language works
Would be really funny to paint the bean with the pinkest pink that he's not allowed to use
then run one out, I think Chicago needs some volunteers to rub it for a bit
Only a dipshit from Chicago would… yeah never mind
Yes. The additional context is that another artist was so annoyed about this that he founded a company (culturehustleusa.com) to invent an even blacker black paint for all artists to use except Kapoor. They've now expanded their product line to other "most-est" colours, including a world's pinkest pink paint. If you buy any of their products, you must tick a box certifying that you are not Anish Kapoor, or buying on his behalf before they will sell to you.
No idea how legally enforceable that might be, but it is hilarious.
It's all publicity stunts. Nothing wrong with publicity stunts, except when you raise hundreds of thousands of dollars with the Kickstarter you never deliver on.
Tyvm. I only remembered him as The Bean guy and totally missed this reference.
