THE TRUSTWORTHY SHIRTS TOURNAMENT

I was intrigued by the original "who would you trust more?" poll by @the-unflappablewolf, attached for posterity.

I was curious to know whether this result was an indicator that Star Trek imbued the most trustworthiness, so I did a survey. I've turned the responses into a 32-team tournament, with the top responses from the survey randomised into pairs for round 1. Winners will use votes from both Mastodon and Tumblr, summarised here: https://cassolotl.tumblr.com/post/809931792568188928/shirt-tournament

@cassolotl
In my experience, Star Trek fans think they're good people because they're into Star Trek. Discworld fans take the lessons Discworld taught them and try to do good things with those lessons.

@cassolotl This is going to come down to Fred Rogers vs LeVar Burton, isn't it?

Cassian [main]8h ago

@cass I kind of hope not because I don't live in the US and have never seen either of those shows! Tumblr is very American but Mastodon is a lot more international, so it's actually very hard to predict.

@cassolotl They're both very wholesome kid shows so they're beating out adult scifi and geek stuff. Kinda different from most stuff on here.

@cassolotl one of the toughest matchups tbh

Mx. Aria Stewart Mar 9

@cassolotl The Muppets shirt person probably is more friendly and immediately fun to be around, but if I have a problem, I'm going to the person with the Reading Rainbow shirt. They'll actually be useful to help.

potion_genderqueer

@cassolotl Tough call! Either of'em carries trustiness..

Though I've never _seen_ anybody in a Reading Rainbow shirt. Muppets? Lots. (The thing I've seen most reading-rainbow-relevant have been Drake memes, mostly Geordi, sometimes LeVar as himself, don't do this, do _this_... )

DB Schwein Mar 9

This was definitely the toughest decision for me!

Amos Newcombe Mar 9

@cassolotl None of them, no matter the shirt. Trust must be earned.

Cassandra is only carbon now Mar 9

@cassolotl Depends which Star Trek series. If it's DS9, they're a real one, gotta be ready to follow them into hell.

@cassolotl yall got this one wrong

🔥Cassandra🔥1d ago

@jepyang @cassolotl Agreed.

https://ottawa.place/@Cassandra/116201262700402999

🔥Cassandra🔥 (@[email protected])

@[email protected] I love Trek, but some of the fans are 🙃. I cannot imagine distrusting someone wearing a Golden Girls shirt.

MxBikil is Spoopy🎃 and Gay!❄️1d ago

@cassolotl whoa! Did not expect this! 😮

Cassian [main]1d ago

@Bikil I've never seen the Golden Girls so I wasn't sure what to expect!

I wonder if the Golden Girls is maybe known in fewer countries than Star Trek, which might account for its difference?

MxBikil is Spoopy🎃 and Gay!❄️1d ago

@cassolotl yeah, that totally makes sense!

wolfie 🐺Mar 9

@cassolotl the lines through harry Potter 🤣

Cassian [main]Mar 9

@wolfie It was thoroughly obliterated!!

wolfie 🐺Mar 9

@cassolotl yeah definitely the least trustworthy fandom shirt

@cassolotl I love how the harry potter one has been scribbled out. what was the final ratio?

Cassian [main]Mar 9

@PsyChuan Across Tumblr and Mastodon:

- Harry Potter: 47 (5%).
- Sailor Moon: 2,134 (195%).

XD

@cassolotl sweet fucking christ,

@cassolotl
Wait, there are Elementary t-shirts?!

Cassian [main]Mar 9

@sollat Ooooooo probably :D Actually, I find Redbubble and similar pretty good for fandom t-shirts!

@cassolotl
I did see a couple there. The CBS has links to stuff from Joan’s wardrobe, which is beautiful but not really the thing. I ended up getting a non-specific shirt from Redbubble that fit the spirit I was looking for.

If you google, it’s a tsunami of t-shirts for elementary school teachers and stuff like that. Even “Elementary TV show” mostly pings Abbott Elementary. I guess I missed the window.

Cassian [main]Mar 9

@sollat Oh I'm glad you did manage to find something that kind of works in the end! It sounds like big faff :D

MxBikil is Spoopy🎃 and Gay!❄️Mar 9

@cassolotl wheeeeeehoooooo!!

Major Denis Bloodnok Mar 9

@cassolotl Oddly my notifications say The Good Place 47%, Bluey 53%, but TGP seems to have gone through.

I think I'm backing Discworld for the overall win.

Cassian [main]Mar 9

@denisbloodnok Votes are combined from here and Tumblr - I'll publish some spreadsheet at some point!

Major Denis Bloodnok Mar 9

@cassolotl Aha, that makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Gurre Vildskägg Mar 9

@cassolotl
I'm predicting Mister Rogers vs Reading Rainbow in the final.
Neither of which I have actually seen more then short clips of, but that would make a good finale.
And one that ends in a draw once someone makes a T-shirt of when LeVar Burton came on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

Cassian [main]Mar 9

@Gurre Ha, I've never seen either of them because I live in the UK but I like that there's a crossover! :D

Ryan Castellucci (they/them)

@cassolotl @Gurre there was also a reading rainbow/star trek crossover

Cassian [main]Mar 10

@ryanc @Gurre Awwwwwwww :D

エラン履恵 • Elán Rie 💉x9 Mar 2

@cassolotl HA! 0% 😂
This one is by far the easiest, but I was surprised by how tough a call a Ghibli shirt vs. Steven Universe shirt was!

Volteccer Mar 2

Giving Sailor Moon a round 1 bye I see.

@cassolotl I had to pause voting for half a minute after this one because I was laughing so hard at the results.

@scy
Voted. Easy choice, good to see I'm in the majority. What's Sailor Moon?
@cassolotl

@scy INDEED :D
