I had a discussion with someone about the language of the Tamarians, you know, “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra” etc.
They thought it was unrealistic that an advanced species had this culture-centerd mode of communication.
Then there is this short exchange, and I don’t even need the picture, but we both know exactly what it would look like, and the background and meaning it carries.
Lower decks destroyed this fan theory, but I always liked it: the Tamarians we see in that episode were just absolute meme lords who could literally only talk in brain rot memes
The species itself has a regular language. Just not the ones we see
