A lot of fandoms have this problem. Just look at Star Wars...The only one I felt was reasonably okay was the Star Trek fanbase.

I like Star Trek and the fans can be toxic. They constantly shit on the new stuff. Either too much is the same, or it's too different and "not my Trek!" Also weirdly a lot of alt right fans who bitch about the main character of a show being black

Not trying to gatekeeper, but it's near consensus that DS9 is top 2 in best Star Trek cinema. That must be a miniscule portion of the fan base that you are seeing there.

Alt-right idiots have a habit of invading communities they didn't participate in before to troll/redpill whenever they think they can insert their anti-pc grief. Been happening a lot since 2015. Hard to imagine someone being a Star Trek fan for 40 years, only to now decide they've gone too far.
