I agree, but after spending some time here, it’s amazing how sensitive the people are about their fandoms on these more niche communities. Like guys, come on… it’s just entertainment, you’re allowed to have opinions, not everything should make you feel so stressed.
At least in larger sites like reddit people can have lighthearted spats and debates about silly things like media. Some of the folks here really need some sunlight.
As a purist, we can agree that the only real series was TNG, this was the cornerstone, built on the hallowed but kind of silly ground made by the original series, but followed by DS9 when we grew up a little, and we can kinda accept Voyager was a thing that happened somewhere in the distance but we don’t get too close.
There was nothing else. The franchise ended and we all moved on, happy for the good run. “ALL GOOD THINGS…”
A purist would know that it’s not Star Trek if Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are not present. We don’t need French men with English accents or William T. Ripoff!
why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion
By this metric, what’s the point of even browsing any forums or websites at all? Everything is someone’s arbitrary opinion, if it makes you feel bad to read something you disagree with, you can’t fix that outside of yourself.
I guess you missed the part where he quoted the exact part of your comment that he was replying to. Or do you just want to ignore that part so you don’t have to defend it?
One of my favorite things about Lemmy ~ Star Trek references can occur anywhere, at any given moment.
I have a personal metric system for rating social networking platforms based on the percentage of Trekkies/Trekkers.
One of us! One of us!
Gooba Gabba, One of us!!
Yes. Yes.

But have you searched for “communities containing tenforward” yet? :)
…I contribute content to them whilst drinking saurian brandy!
I didn’t know this was a thing. tyvm.
You are very welcome!
A round of drinks @ tenforward in celebration for our new friend!!
I just wish I saw more Star Wars references but not that bootleg Disney crap, I like my star wars like I like my bands in the EU.

wtf is a Star Trek “purist” and why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion?

I love that your response to what a “star trek purist” is is a defense of bs opinions on the internet
My actual response to someone so cynical and unable to relax and banter about hobbies and fandoms is to block them. Bye.

you mean like they ignored the part of me asking what a “star trek purist” is? maybe you can shed some light on that.
You take this shit so seriously that I think you are having some issues.
Burn the heretic!
