the THING IS: classic scifi (star trek, doctor who) is about love and kindness and acceptance and exploration, and when it’s not entirely about that, it’s about overcoming evil institutions (b5, star wars). so like. why do bigoted, hateful, disgusting people always state that they’re a scifi fan, when all of the media they consume goes strictly against their toxic beliefs? seriously, why

Because they don’t give a shit about themes; all they get out of it is, “I AM THE HANDSOME, LOVABLE, BRAVE SPACE ROGUE WHO GETS THE SPACE PRINCESS. US MEN WHO ARE THE SPACE ROGUES ARE THE ONES WHO BELONG IN THIS FANDOM. SINCE WE HAVE NO OTHER ABILITIES LIKE *ACTUAL* SPACE ROGUES, OUR ABILITIES ARE OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THIS FANDOM. YOU ARE A WOMAN. YOU CANNOT FIND YOURSELF REFLECTED IN THE *MALE* SPACE ROGUE, *OBVIOUSLY*! THEREFORE YOU ARE HERE UNDER FALSE PRETENSES! I WILL DUEL YOU WITH MY *FANDOM KNOWLEDGE*!!
