    I’ve never personally seen a gaggle of 18-40-year-old star trek fans explaining unironically how the Borg did nothing wrong.

      Empire did nothing wrong is such a fascinating joke. Because it was and mostly today still IS a joke. An obvious one. They are the baddies. But then we entered a political moment where it people started sliding into the sub that were doing it in earnest.

      See also prequelmemes which started off as a subreddit dedicated to making fun of and dunking on the prequels and overtime became a place where people would honestly defend.

      Isn’t it sort of beta cannon that the Borg are the products and the voyager space probe? In some convoluted not very well thought out way, I think it got sent back in time or something?

    I think the only ones who wouldn’t inherently trust a Star Trek fan over a Star Wars fan are the Child Exploitation Section of the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit circa 2005.
