Pre-Discovery I might agree, but now the majority of trek fans are just as toxic.
Sir this is a website
I wouldnt say a majority but yeah there are a lot of trek fans who are were also pulling the “why you gota make everything political!” card . Nothing really tops the poop whirlpool that was the last jedi fallout.
As true as it is, it’s not a monolith. ND Republican candidate Corey Johnson is supposedly a huge star trek nerd and I’ve been planning his assassination.
This is a joke btw
Isn’t it running trope that most right wingers have virtually no media literacy and do not understand that their favorite show is actually entirely opposed to their political beliefs
No, but statistically speaking it goes bear > star trek fan > star wars fan > Lemmy user
Where are the beats? Where is the Battlestar Galactica?
Okay but what if the bear is a Lemmy user?
i have a question for the bear
so they are on hexbear?
Being a Star Trek nerd is nothing to joke about.
How are the plans coming along?
Yeah, ok…but, what color Star Trek shirt?
Terran Empire black, naturally
“Troi/Crusher exercise leotard” colour.
Green.
I’ve never personally seen a gaggle of 18-40-year-old star trek fans explaining unironically how the Borg did nothing wrong.
well now i wanna go do that with my middle aged buddies at the mall.
Empire did nothing wrong is such a fascinating joke. Because it was and mostly today still IS a joke. An obvious one. They are the baddies. But then we entered a political moment where it people started sliding into the sub that were doing it in earnest.
See also prequelmemes which started off as a subreddit dedicated to making fun of and dunking on the prequels and overtime became a place where people would honestly defend.
I think the only ones who wouldn’t inherently trust a Star Trek fan over a Star Wars fan are the Child Exploitation Section of the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit circa 2005.
