Comment on I can be considered Trekkie or just a viewer?
usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 1 month agoFor a time “Trekkie” was seen as derogatory, so “Trekker” was invented by people who didn’t want to be seen as “one of those fans”
The distinction seems to have slowly fallen away, and now I rarely see “Trekker” used at ask.

@usernamefactory @Deebster The more Star Trek series that someone has seen all of, the more likely they are to call to themselves a Trekkie. https://researchscape.com/consumer-research-2/paramount-subscribers-and-star-trek-fans #StarTrek #Trekkie
