USSBurritoTruckThe wildest part about this poll is that it was only shared to Star Wars sites

LumidaubIf 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.
RebekahWSDThat 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.
I dunno, I’ve never heard of it.
EltingThe bomber run physics were fine.
I’ll see myself out.
This but unironically.
It’s a series famous for killing subtlety in cinema and you STILL DON’T GET IT REEEE

Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest make you not just trusted, but require instant friendship.
I am your nephew’s second cousin’s boyfriend’s roommate’s uncle’s brother!
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…
CarbonIceDragonNow I’m trying to think of what I’m forgetting about trekkie gear from those books. All that comes immediately to mind is the Bob that names himself after Riker, but that’s less gear and more a virtual persona or something.
the later books has a group of bobs that call themselves starfleet that becomes an important plot point
As a Star Wars fan, I heartily concur
Even if it’s a red shirt? You could be stuck in the cross fire lolol
That’s my point, if a red shirt walks behind you then you are between a disruptor and its target
On Kirk’s ship that means you die on an away mission. On Picard’s it means you give a Borg cube the middle finger while charging straight at it and somehow survive
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.
SharkWeekThe 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)
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.
Yeah, I got mine in a thrift store … makes sense.
I would like a Trek t-shirt, but being outside the US I’m sure it’s even more difficult to find one :-/
lime!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.
James R KirkYes 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.
Hexarei“ARCHER? SERIOUSLY?”
Listen, pinkskin…
vaultdweller013The star wars equivalent of this is dropping a tactical nuke with the question of modern or old lore and then asking for their favorite era.
I’m unaware of any star wars fan that would say new. Especially if you count episode 1 as new
I know plenty of folks who love the old clone wars multi media project from back in the 00s. When I say new I mean Disney specifically maybe including the 08 clone wars cartoon.
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.
I have absolutely randomly jumped into a conversation like that before 🤣
I would have at least tried, but I was with my family and didn’t want to abandon them.
Yeah, it’d have to be a specific piece of Star Wars media the shirt referenced to compete for me. Like KOTOR or Andor.
Content not available in my region 😭
With Imgur and Reddit having all the silly restrictions, I’m not sure why more people don’t upload their images directly to Lemmy?
Thank you 🙂
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.
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
Trying. I’ll keep you updated 😂
It’s not fair! How can you be on the Poll and not be a Master?
In SW the Empire are the bad guys, in ST the empire are the good guys.
