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.

    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.

    In a fight, side with the person with the Stargate shirt. They probably have a gun and a claymore.

    Spaceballs and Galaxy Quest make you not just trusted, but require instant friendship.

    Nobody hates a star wars fan like another star wars fan.

    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?

    Edit: oh wait because "shared to Star Wars sites". They meant tumblr blogs.

    Here, I'll copy/paste it.

    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 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.

    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.

    It’s not fair! How can you be on the Poll and not be a Master?
