Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-
/c/[email protected] - General memes

Wearing a jersey/scarf is more about showing which "tribe" you're part of though. Going full kit is a bit different as it's excessive.
True. But I think if I wore, like, a Star Trek comm badge, that'd raise more questions than if I wore an Arsenal t-shirt!
One thing has shaped communities and defined cultures for a century and the other thing is a science fiction show. It's really not comparable in my opinion.
Maybe for soccer, but the above statement could apply to basketball, ice hockey, and football and those have only been around about 2.5 times longer than trek.
It bleeds over though, they are all team sports. Just like Europeans grow up with their local football teams being celebrated, Americans grow up with their franchises being celebrated.
