One of my favorite things about Lemmy ~ Star Trek references can occur anywhere, at any given moment.
I have a personal metric system for rating social networking platforms based on the percentage of Trekkies/Trekkers.
One of us! One of us!
Gooba Gabba, One of us!!
Yes. Yes.

I just wish I saw more Star Wars references but not that bootleg Disney crap, I like my star wars like I like my bands in the EU.
this kind of negativity doesn't help Star Wars, or any fandom.
Yeah I've spoken to enough young people who watched the prequels first that I no longer begrudge them their nostalgia.
I just don't share it, and that's ok. I'd rather define myself by what I enjoy than what I turn my nose up at.
Speaking of, have you heard the good word of Andor?? It's the best thing to happen to Star Wars since greebles!!!
lol i HAVE heard the Good News! XD
life is just a lot more fun when you enjoy stuff rather than hate stuff.
the OT, i love it, i grew up on it, it has some really naff bits in it. XD this just IS Star Wars. the cornball stuff was baked in from the beginning.
no, but i am sick of it. we don't have to be this way.
part of that is calling out negative behaviours. critique is one thing. but there are too many shitbirds today who think it's somehow cool and erudite to yuck other people's yums.
as you said, a lot of the blame for encouraging and normalizing that behaviour goes to grifters, social media, capitalism. but every person gets to make a choice on what kind of person they want to be today and what energy they want to put out.
more ppl need to start choosing the good.
Critique of media is so fun! It's the clannish obsession with fighting over the objectively "true" instance of a piece of media that's so tiring.
Though I agree it's small potatoes, and usually just a proxy for generational or class fielty divisions.
A purist would know that it’s not Star Trek if Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are not present. We don’t need French men with English accents or William T. Ripoff!
wtf is a Star Trek "purist" and why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion?
Burn the heretic!
I love that your response to what a "star trek purist" is is a defense of bs opinions on the internet
It probably means different things for different people, because like every other fandom, it's kinda arbitrary.
I was kind of purist. I started with TOS, but TNG, DS9, and VOY were right then too. Didn't care as much for Voyager, but it was ok. Skipped Enterprise completely. I have TAS but haven't watched it. Actively disliked the Kelvin movies. I've missed all the new stuff because I don't stream, except Lower Decks, which I find delightful. I'm gonna pick up Picard and SNW soon.
I guess you missed the part where he quoted the exact part of your comment that he was replying to. Or do you just want to ignore that part so you don’t have to defend it?
you mean like they ignored the part of me asking what a "star trek purist" is? maybe you can shed some light on that.
you keep responding but i'm taking it seriously😂😂
But have you searched for "communities containing tenforward" yet? :)
..I contribute content to them whilst drinking saurian brandy!
