I mean it makes sense when you think about it. The federation isn’t exactly going to go around advertising that they have the best f*** simulators on their flagship. Whereas Quarks is a literal Space Casino. Just because your company doesn’t block porn, doesn’t mean you should watch it on your work laptop, at least while you’re on duty.
Lower Decks is very clear about the wide range of uses of the holodeck, and their definition of Safe for Work has certainly progressed from 21st century standards.
If you combine the idea of the holodeck with the logic of the purge from The Purge films, you could frame the holodeck as a way for people to express their darkest desires privately. Outside the holodeck, utopia exists.

The biomatter just gets reconstituted in the replicators. Earl Gray, anyone?

"Klingon Fisting Fiesta"? Did you mean Jadzias and Worfs honeymoon?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 2y
That doesn't sound kinky enough for Jadzia.

That's what Worf does when Jadzia is away on mission.
Worf: "If you breathe a word of this to anyone, I will kill your entire extended family."

Wonder if the holodeck can handle modded Skyrim. Imagine one of the starfleet crew walking into that madness.
Would also be hilarious if they had a Star Wars program. "BRB, gotta go to the holodeck to blow off some steam"

That said, can we not keep doing dark and evil Star Trek, Mr. Goldsman?

The producers are making what they know, which is why it's bereft of hope.

I mean, since the computer isn't sentient, it's still basically masturbation.
