WTF is a risa!? - eviltoast

Hello. It’s hugely annoying to look at “community information” and find just an in-joke that won’t make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I’m sure that’s fine for those already initiated, but I still don’t know what “risa” means!

Don’t worry, I also know you don’t care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out…? Well, that’s fine; it’s your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don’t even clarify where their interests lie…

EDIT: Don’t worry, I’m gone, and I’ve turned off reply notifications… I have even watched Star Trek! But don’t fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you’re safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won’t bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping…

    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.
