Not my OC
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.
Nice. I have one with a pic of the Enterprise and “Star Wars #1 Fan”
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
That’s fucking amazing. I love it. I want games like that for real now (they say, knowing full well that historically games made from movie and TV IP have been largely awful, alas):
The fandom knows itself
In a fight, side with the person with the Stargate shirt. They probably have a gun and a claymore.
Or with the person wearing a red shirt, as it’ll… act as a lightning rod of sorts.
As in a mine or as in a sword?
Me over here in my Spaceballs shirt.
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!
never give up, never surrender!
unfortunately my view of trekkie gear has been clouded by reading the bobiverse novels…
You seem trustworthy.
It’s not fair! How can you be on the Poll and not be a Master?
As a Star Wars fan, I heartily concur
Even if it’s a red shirt? You could be stuck in the cross fire lolol
Since the red shirt draws all the fire they’d be safer than anywhere else.
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
Nobody hates a star wars fan like another star wars fan.
They are liking the thing I like the wrong way!
The 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
123456 vs 456123 vs what was it, 451236?
is tumblr a “Star Wars site” now?
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?
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.
I dunno, I’ve never heard of it.
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?
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.
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
Get a better region mate
Trying. I’ll keep you updated 😂
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)
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 :-/
yeah not a good look to have pictures of space nazi soldiers on your chest
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.
Revel Alliance feels better than “Star Wars” TBH, especially after the absolute jewel that was Andor.

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.

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.

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 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.

Yeah, it’d have to be a specific piece of Star Wars media the shirt referenced to compete for me. Like KOTOR or Andor.
