I think part of it is also that a random stranger in a star wars shirt can be anyone. A random stranger in a star trek shirt is a nerd, and therefore more likely to be a cool dude.

[-] Kirk@startrek.website 26 points 1 month ago

Yes exactly, you can walk up to anyone in a Star Trek shirt and by simply saying the phrase "favorite captain?" you'll probably have a new friend two hours later.

... Or a new foe, two seconds later

"ARCHER? SERIOUSLY?"

Oh man, there were a pair of middle-aged guys at the table behind me at a restaurant recently, and I SO BADLY wanted to join their conversation! Favorite Romulan ship class, U.S.S. Pegasus: treaty violation or necessary development?, Best DS9 episodes... they were my kind of people.

The fandom knows itself

The only Star Trek or Star Wars shirt I currently own is black with yellow gold lettering saying "Star Trek" in the Star Wars font. I think it makes some people uncomfortable. My S.O. hates it. I think it's hilarious and I know immediately what type of "nerd" I'm dealing with based on people's reactions to it. I suspect most people don't realize it's a joke or they are worried that I don't know it's a joke.

I have a Space Invaders shirt with warbirds and the Enterprise as your ship at the bottom. Sadly no one has recognized it as trek yet

Nice. I have one with a pic of the Enterprise and "Star Wars #1 Fan"

In a fight, side with the person with the Stargate shirt. They probably have a gun and a claymore.

[-] Stampela@startrek.website 15 points 1 month ago

Or with the person wearing a red shirt, as it’ll… act as a lightning rod of sorts.

Me over here in my Spaceballs shirt.

[-] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 month ago

Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest make you not just trusted, but require instant friendship.

Absolutely nothing!

(Thank you for setting up the line!)

never give up, never surrender!

unfortunately my view of trekkie gear has been clouded by reading the bobiverse novels...

Nobody hates a star wars fan like another star wars fan.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

They are liking the thing I like the wrong way!

is tumblr a "Star Wars site" now?

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If anything, it's still a Doctor Who site, if we're going by "biggest science-fiction franchise", but why would this poll suggest that?

Edit: oh wait because "shared to Star Wars sites". They meant tumblr blogs.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

That poll broke containment real real quick in tumblr then, as it pops up on my dashboard a lot and no one I follow is Star Wars or adjacent at all lol.

Content not available in my region 😭

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Here, I'll copy/paste it.

With Imgur and Reddit having all the silly restrictions, I'm not sure why more people don't upload their images directly to Lemmy?

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

I always feel bad for uploading anything here because I feel like I'm wasting precious space. Yes I know it probably doesn't matter at all but still.

[-] uber_chicken@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Thank you 🙂

[-] ashughes@feddit.uk 15 points 1 month ago

I really don't understand why a user base predisposed to Lemmy is okay with using a proprietary centralized service that isn't globally accessible. I might understand it if Lemmy didn't support image uploads, but it does.

It's like you're not okay with your text being censored by private corporations and governments, but here, take my images and please make sure some people can't see it.

I get that some probably have muscle memory for certain services but it just seems like the majority here don't even care to unlearn it.

[-] uber_chicken@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Probably just habit. Or maybe a bot account?

I'm in England, so maybe the government have blocked it 👍😭 Sign of things to come I guess

There's a guy at a customer's IT that regularly wears a Rebel Alliance hoodie. I've been wary of him since I first saw him.

[-] SharkWeek 7 points 1 month ago

Revel Alliance feels better than "Star Wars" TBH, especially after the absolute jewel that was Andor.

[-] SharkWeek 6 points 1 month ago

The only sci-fi T-shirt I have is covered in Storm Troopers ... maybe I should think about upgrading (both me and my other half are Trek fans)

[-] grue@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Star Wars shirts are a lot more common for cheap in stores like Walmart, to be bought on a whim. Star Trek shirts have to be specifically sought out online or at conventions or something, and tend to cost more.

That's why I, a trekkie, own more Star Wars shirts than Star Trek ones.
