Meanwhile, LOTR nerds:
Risa
Star Trek memes and shitposts
Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
I've never understood this rift... I like Star Trek and Star Wars. Can't we just agree that we're all sci-fi nerds?
They’re very different takes on futuristic sci fi.
I enjoy Star Wars but I’m not a “fan”, it’s just a very different series to what I most enjoy watching.
Uhhhgggh I have to be that nerd, Star Wars isn't the future, it's a long time ago, in the past.
In a galaxy far, far away.
Literally not in our galaxy. Not in a close one either. Star Trek is, with the exception of 1 episode (?), in the milky way galaxy.
I would agree. I think 'fan' would apply to at least being into the lore. I'm not especially into the lore of Star Wars beyond what I see on screen. In Star Trek, I like discussing the lore, the "science," etc. I'm definitely a fan.
Star Wars is actually fantasy though.
The force is literally magic
Yup. It's all about magic, swords, princesses, etc. There's literally light and dark wizards.
It's a fantasy series in a Sci-Fi environment.
Yes, but I think "FanDom" implies "Fanatical Domination" meaning someone in The "FanDom" of a certain thing is sexually aroused by dominating other with their fanatical following of said thing.
That's the only explanation I've been able to come up with and I find it hilarious so I'm sticking with it.
And Cons are about conning people into buying fan merchandize and provide a free advwrtisement in a form of cosplay.
My daughter likes going to cons just to look at the cosplay and she never buys anything, so I guess they only conned her out of the entry fee.
And fans are blowhards trying to push their favourite thing on others a spread it further and further.
It's "Fanatical Domain" but I like your definition better
Can't we just agree that we're all sci-fi nerds?
If only it were that easy.
Gundam scares me because I know I will love it, and there is such a huge amount of it that I may never crawl back out of that hole.
Gundam has so many reboots and varying timelines and stuff.
I personally think 8TH MS Team is the peak show for a grounded war story version.
So say we all.
But what if I just like the stars?
NEVER!
Time to warch Star Wars: Wrath of Knan followed by Star Trek: The empire strikes back.
Probably my favourite Babylon 5 line ❤️
no, i am a greater nerd, actially
Firefly
It had so much potential for becoming an extended universe, but in a way I think the short life helped it become cult in its own way.
I could never be like the common Star Wars nerd 🤮 (just jokes)
How dare you compare me to those low life, good for nothing, disney lovers. We are totally not the same. We might have the same origin, we're called "nerds". But down the road, they took a wrong turn and lost their way. However, I love them like a brother, because there is noone better to pick on than your brother.
