        mostly Leftist because of the political stuff on Star Trek

        Decades of festering contrarianism and “bad guys are cool actually” ideology in the Trek fandom made far too many people seem somehow embarrassed by the idea of a brighter future in the setting, or that the Federation was actually cool and good and didn’t need to have edgy murderfucking black ops “Adults In The Room” no matter how much Rick Berman pushed the idea because he was always a piece of shit.

        Those toxic fans are numerous enough that I lost count of how many “USS AYN RANDs” I saw flying around Star Trek Online. The zone chat in Earth Spacedock is basically /pol/, 24/7.
