    Right-wing SW fans make more sense than right-wing Star Trek fans, at least. In SW they can root for the Empire, but ST is a post-scarcity utopia from the ground up.

      Right wing Star Trek fans love the Mirror Universe. They’re probably why someone thought it was a brilliant idea in Discovery to give Space Hitler a redemption arc.

        right wingers had a problem with 90+% female and LGBTQ+ leads, thats all they were complaining about in STD.

          I had zero problem with the cast. But after they decided to give Space Hitler her redemption arc, I just couldn’t take the show seriously anymore.

            i assume you mean “the good borg queen” i dint like picard that much, ironically that story was lifted from the fan novels, where it had a “borg” cooperative alliance, after the QUEEN in endgame died. kurtzman lifted from those NOVELS so much, it was so cringe and obvious. i was curious of the Lore one time so i visited thier non-canon wiki pages of star trek.

        Unfortunately, they very much do.

        And they don’t understand who the good guys are in 40k either (it’s no one. Except maybe tyranids acting at an instinctual level)

            I mean, by process of elimination, I guess.

            I thought about including orks in there, but they do too many uncool things like trying to fight people who don’t want to fight.

            They’re perfectly happy fighting anyone and everyone, including themselves, and just want a good propper fight.

            Kind of hard justifying a fight with puppies though…

              Exactly! Any other faction that wins and takes over the galaxy is still running a dystopia. The Orks, however, would be ruling over a utopia where everyone is happy (on account of being Orks and thrilled to fight one another). The Orks deserve to win from a utilitarian standpoint of maximizing happiness!
