I've never personally seen a gaggle of 18-40-year-old star trek fans explaining unironically how the Borg did nothing wrong.

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.
well now i wanna go do that with my middle aged buddies at the mall.
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.
Being a Star Trek nerd is nothing to joke about.
How are the plans coming along?
No, but statistically speaking it goes bear > star trek fan > star wars fan > Lemmy user
Okay but what if the bear is a Lemmy user?
i have a question for the bear
so they are on hexbear?
Where are the beats? Where is the Battlestar Galactica?
Yeah, ok...but, what color Star Trek shirt?
"Troi/Crusher exercise leotard" colour.
Terran Empire black, naturally
Green.
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.
Pre-Discovery I might agree, but now the majority of trek fans are just as toxic.
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.
Sir this is a website
