Where does 40k fall on this spectrum? Is it just a nope by default or is it dependent on faction or memetics.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Star Wars is so heavily merchandised that you really can't tell anything about someone wearing a shirt with Yoda on it, impulse buy at a Wal-Mart. But show me someone wearing a Riker T-Shirt, and I'll show you someone who went to a convention or decided to order a shirt off of a website. More likely to be one of us harmless earnest dorks who knows who did what at Tenagra.
disney practically turned SW into slop like MCU.
I'd wear a Blake's 7 shirt if there was an iconic logo that wasn't also the emblem of the fascist reigime in-universe.
The bland target logo from Series D doesn't really appeal to me.
This has more to do with popularity than star wars or strek itself.
I'd say the opposite, actually. Star Wars is so mainstream that any douche could wear a T-shirt. Trek is a niche.
No, it doesn't. I love both franchises, and I get the difference.
With the laugh track edited out:
Can someone tell me what my reaction to this poll should be?
uncontrollable laughter
Not all Star Trek fans are deep thinkers.
Not many Star Wars fans are deep thinkers.
And that's all I have to say about that.
That's not fair! The poor blokes won't even understand they're being made fun if!
Tbh I was going to reply but I couldn't think of anything. (I'm a Farscape fan, not sure if that’s related?)
I have 2 Trek shirts, 3 Star Wars, 2 Doctor Who, and a Stargate shirt. Where do I fall?
But one of my Trek shirts is a blue Andorian Mining Consortium shirt, (They run from no one) and it's so awesome.
If I was bleeding out in the street, and you approached me to help in a Doctor Who shirt, I would pretend I'd already died.
I wouldn't trust them until they told me which ST series they loved.
Valid.
"I've only seen the Section 31 movie."
I honestly don't even know what a star trek shirt would be (unless they mean the literal shirts they wear)
You sent me on a fun search rabbit hole.
It's tough to pick my favourite. The faux band shirt or the whatever you call this.
Shirts depicting the franchise not shirts the actors wear
The style of shirts they wore in TOS are perfectly fine for casual wear too.
I dont really know shit about star trek but star wars is extremely overrated, i mean there were a few great movies but like nobody dresses up like characters from the godfather or citizen kane or idk any other great movies really. Idk lotr is super popular and it's awesome but idk lotr was also even better movies and still not as like a religion for people, like people make their whole identity being a star wars fan it's bizzare. Idk i just dont get star wars people i guess.
nobody dresses up like characters from the godfather or citizen kane
The character in these movies are simply regular somewhat well dressed people of their time.
Are you claiming that nobody ever wears a suit?
And people dress up as their favorite characters all the time. It's part of every fandom.
You have never been to Comicon or another, have you? 😉
