WTF is a risa!?

c/All browser here and not a subscriber of this community. But as a fan of Star Trek, I find this post pretty hilarious. Especially as Risa is part of at least four of the shows, at least one movie, several books, multiple games, RPG manuals, and more.

I imagine a hypothetical tatooine@starwars.website where the community posts nothing but pictures of sand with titles like “The beautiful view from my apartment” and someone dropping into that community to complain “what even is a tatooine!? all i can see is brown. why are you alienating non-starwars fans?”

Or football@sport.website “Why is everyone running after spheres? Who are all these people? Why don’t you explain what a football are in your sidebar? Why are you alienating people who don’t have feet spheres?”

Not everything on the internet is for you or required to cater to you. Rather than share negativity, simply try tapping on a different hyperlink instead and find something that is for you.

Who trolls Risa of all places, lol. This is the only meme community I haven't just blocked because it's so high quality.

/j

Just google it if you don't understand lol. Not that hard

If you don't understand the references you wouldn't find the jokes funny anyways

Edit: the gif is just a joke people

What is it about "Star trek memes and shitposts" you're incapable of understanding? Can you not google "star trek risa" to see where the name comes from? Why are you all up in here trying to play the victim like everyone's out to get you, when you're determined to live in the ignorance a 2 second google spree and reading comprehension could solve?

OP must be a Romulan. Only a Romulan could be this hostile and ignorant.

I solved this for myself by googling Risa. It wasn't difficult and I didn't have to complain to anyone, or declare that I was leaving and never coming back or whatever.

Hi OP.

here is the answer.

Designated as a "pleasure planet", Risa was an inhabited Federation planet located in a binary system, in orbit of the star Epsilon Ceti B, and was about ninety light years from the Sol system. The planet was orbited by at least two moons.

It was first found in the episode Captain's Holiday

The Plot of Captain's Holiday:

Strongly pressured by the crew of the Enterprise, Captain Picard reluctantly agrees to take a vacation on Risa, a pleasure planet. Shortly after he arrives, he is kissed by a woman he has never met, in her attempt to fend off a Ferengi named Sovak. Sovak accuses Picard of conspiring with the woman, Vash, who has in her possession a data disc that he wants. Picard has no interest in the quarrel and returns to his room to discover two "Vorgons" who identify themselves as time-traveling police agents from the 27th century, searching for a powerful weapon called the Tox Uthat capable of stopping the fusion reactions of a star. The 27th-century scientist who invented it traveled back in time to hide it. According to their historical records, Picard will locate this object on Risa.

Picard confronts Vash about the Tox Uthat. She claims to be the former assistant of an archaeologist who discovered the location of the Uthat, gave her the disc for safekeeping, and died. Picard and Vash use the information on the disc to determine the Uthat's hiding place. When they arrive at the location where the Uthat is buried, the Vorgons appear to witness the discovery of the Uthat. Sovak then arrives with a phaser rifle and has Picard and Vash excavate the site at gunpoint for hours. However, the Uthat is not there. The Vorgons leave, confused because this doesn't line up with their historical record. Sovak, in his obsession, refuses to believe that the Uthat isn't there, throws away the rifle, and starts digging while Vash and Picard return to the resort.

After their arrival, the Enterprise returns to pick up Picard. He catches Vash attempting to sneak away from the resort and surmises that she arrived days earlier, located the Uthat, and devised a ruse to fool Sovak into thinking the Uthat was lost. She reveals the hidden Uthat and the Vorgons reappear, demanding it. When Vash suggests that the Vorgons may have ulterior motives, Picard has the Enterprise use the transporter to destroy it. The disappointed Vorgons reveal that Picard has acted just as their records said by destroying the Uthat, admit defeat, and leave. Vash and Picard have a final intimate exchange before they say goodbye to each other.

Nice drama bait you got there, it sure would be a shame if someone were to post ghost sex in it.

Filter it then. No one is stopping you.

Same thing happened to me. I realized it was trek memes. Didn’t understand the relevance of Risa. Googled on memory alpha and found out. Had a good laugh at the joke as it were. Understood why there was no written out explanation of the naming. It’s part of the spirit and injokeness of the place.

The reason people are antagonistic is because it’s all coming across a bit entitled.

It’s just trek memes. Chill. You’re going to be ok man.

This time on: Loser can't use google, claims community is alienating users.

Hi @Empricorn@feddit.nl. It's a comedy meme sub related to Star Trek.

I want to see them pull this on Star Trek shitposting on FB.

Go watch TNG. All of TNG

It’d be easy enough to add it to community information. Like, super easy.
