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.

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.
As Star Wars fan and someone who have been following the community for some time, i totally agreed with those people
I feel like it says more about the values of the fans than anything else. This isn't too say that Star Wars fans are bad as a fandom, but that Star Trek fans are more likely to help in times of need.
I enjoy Star Wars for specific reasons that I like in entertainment. The ragtag underdog fighting a strong oppressor and winning. The classic fantasy story, but in space. Swords. Small fighters dogfighting more than large ships shooting at each other.
Now, that's entertainment, in an action fantasy judgement. Would I want to live in a Star Wars universe over a Star Trek universe? Absolutely not. Do I agree with the moral guidelines of either major side of Star Wars? Again, not really. I definitely don't like the empire, but even the Jedi are too much of religious fundies to me. I also think the lessons/message of Trek is generally better too.
It's a bit like food that's tasty but not good for you. I enjoy it, but I'm not claiming it's the better of the two.
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.
You have never been to Comicon or another, have you? 😉
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.

I honestly don't even know what a star trek shirt would be (unless they mean the literal shirts they wear)
Shirts depicting the franchise not shirts the actors wear
Even in cosplay I'm picking a redshirt over a wookie.

This has more to do with popularity than star wars or strek itself.
No, it doesn't. I love both franchises, and I get the difference.
I'd say the opposite, actually. Star Wars is so mainstream that any douche could wear a T-shirt. Trek is a niche.
That's what im saying, tho.
These are not equivalent. A Star Wars shirt just has a picture of some characters or spaceships on it, but a Star Trek shirt could be Starfleet uniform.
Disney tax.
disney practically turned SW into slop like MCU.
