    I honestly do not like this meme. Rom is the opposite of crude. He is sweet and caring, which is why Leta loves him and also why many fans, myself included, love him. I get that it’s a joke, but using the very wrong character in my opinion.

    Now if you had used Bashir, fine.

      I agree with that and I am actually glad you voiced the opinion because seeing all the upvotes on this makes me wonder about the communities taste a bit.

        People probably saw it and had a slight chuckle and hit the up arrow.

        I think that’s probably it. It doesn’t need to be authentic or true to the character to elicit that response. I doubt it’s some deep thing, or that there’s something seriously wrong with the community.

        Besides, I think the fact that this is extremely unlike Rom is somewhat of a subversion of expectations, and is a deliberate part of the joke. I think that’s being missed.

        I’m well aware that Rom would never say that, but nor would the vast majority of characters say what they do in the memes posted here.

      Okay, but who cares? Do you think that you’re entitled to a more important opinion because you are a moderator? Judging from the upvotes, enough people enjoy this meme and there is no need for you to spread such unnecessary negativity.

        I think I’m entitled to an opinion because I participate in this community.

        If I moderated based on my opinion, both this post and your response would be deleted.

        Edit: And to answer your initial question, you do not have to care about my opinion and neither does anyone else.

        Christ mate, they only stated their personal opinion. I’d be with you if they abused mod and removed stuff arbitrarily, but that’s not what happened, so chill out.
