Not my OC
The fandom knows itself
The wildest part about this poll is that it was only shared to Star Wars sites

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.

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
Wolf314159@startrek.website 3 weeks ago
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):
- Asteroids, but with Star Wars ships.
- Galaga, but you fly voyager through Borg space, trans warp conduits, etc. Occasionally you pick up a clone or alternate timeline Voyager to fight along side you.
- Space invaders I think would also be a good with a Starship Troopers skin and bugs lobbing rocks at your bases, could also be good in the style of Scorched Earth (or Worms Armageddon).
- An Apple II style text only adventure game in Deep Space Nine.
- A farming/trading/city sim on Babylon 5.
- Civilization, but it’s Babylon 5, Star Trek, or Star Wars, Dune, etc.
- Old school 2.5D Zelda adventure game, but it’s Firefly or The Expanse.
- A Mario Bros. game but it’s Farscape.
- Mario kart, also Farscape.
- Leisure Suit Larry in the style of Lexx.

Nice. I have one with a pic of the Enterprise and “Star Wars #1 Fan”

In a fight, side with the person with the Stargate shirt. They probably have a gun and a claymore.
Stampela@startrek.website 3 weeks ago
Or with the person wearing a red shirt, as it’ll… act as a lightning rod of sorts.
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
As in a mine or as in a sword?

Me over here in my Spaceballs shirt.
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest make you not just trusted, but require instant friendship.

unfortunately my view of trekkie gear has been clouded by reading the bobiverse novels…

You seem trustworthy.
ThisUsernameKillsFascists@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
As a Star Wars fan, I heartily concur
trolololol@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Even if it’s a red shirt? You could be stuck in the cross fire lolol
Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
Since the red shirt draws all the fire they’d be safer than anywhere else.
FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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!

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

is tumblr a “Star Wars site” now?
Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
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?
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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 😭
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
With Imgur and Reddit having all the silly restrictions, I’m not sure why more people don’t upload their images directly to Lemmy?
Lumidaub@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
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.
uber_chicken@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Thank you 🙂
ashughes@feddit.uk 3 weeks ago
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.
uber_chicken@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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
Gonzako@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Get a better region mate
uber_chicken@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Trying. I’ll keep you updated 😂
SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
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)
grue@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
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@feddit.nu 3 weeks ago
yeah not a good look to have pictures of space nazi soldiers on your chest
Damage@feddit.it 3 weeks ago
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.
SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Revel Alliance feels better than “Star Wars” TBH, especially after the absolute jewel that was Andor.

In SW the Empire are the bad guys, in ST the empire are the good guys.
Xerxos@lemmy.ml 3 weeks ago
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.
Kirk@startrek.website 3 weeks ago
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.
Hexarei@beehaw.org 3 weeks ago
… Or a new for, two seconds later
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
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.
vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
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.
HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Yeah, it’d have to be a specific piece of Star Wars media the shirt referenced to compete for me. Like KOTOR or Andor.
