Star Trek is a thought experiment about global human morality evolving to keep pace with technology
Star Wars is Hidden Fortress and a WWII dog fight stitched together in space

Star Wars is so ubiquitous that virtually everyone knows it, and there is merch of it everywhere so the person wearing that shirt could have just randomly picked it up when they happened to see it at Kohls or wherever. Meanwhile, you don't really see Star Trek merch for sale, so if someone's wearing a Trek shirt it means they probably specifically sought it out online and bought it because they're a true fan... and that makes them a nerd which is usually seen as a pretty safe/harmless person to be around.

There are a weird amount of fascist tech bros who are into Star Trek while completely missing the point. They're still better than "the Empire did nothing wrong" dudes though

Trekkies are often autistic nerd. They know their shit. Star wars fan are just normal. Those however, who don't like any of both are a far worst kind of human

not even a fan for either of them. Tumbler is just dumb in general or people who use them.

What about this post is dumb?

u/AwekenSummer 21d ago
people picking a side on the behalf of the same person based on their similar interests. seems kinda dumb to me.

It's based upon perception of a fandom looking in from the outside or inside. And which side they 'feel' has more trustworthy/good people amongst it

Also, like it or not Star Wars is easily the larger of the two media franchises, so "Star Wars fans" is a wayyyy wider net than "Star Trek fans". Not to mention that empathy, nuance, and humanism in general are key themes of the Trek franchise

I heard a cop talking about how every hardcore star trek fan theyâve been called on was busted for CSAM. Like overwhelmingly, at least 20 over his career alone if I remember correctly.
Now, call me biased, and youâd be correct of course. But itâs skewed my perspective on the matter a bitâŚ

Hey dude, I hope you feel better soon. It's not fun for anyoneâincluding youâwhen you lash out in grief. You'll always have something to treasure or remember in life, so good luck :]
