Is “trekker” the new “trekkie”?

…considering the term is nearly sixty years old i’d say no.

Fair enough, though I’m not too far behind ya there. I suppose it’s similar to the dichotomy of geek v. nerd, insofar that the distinction is lost on those outside the group (much to our chagrin/cringe). 🖖🏽

It’s also an age thing - I mean every fandom has Those Fans, but in general being a fan of something and buying / wearing merch is now nbd. Nerd’s gone mainstream.
Back when those terms were coined? Sooo not the case.
