fandom kids these days really be out here pretending like fandom wasnt invented by housewives that were super into star trek
They were also kinky bitches.
Sex pollen? Trekkie house wives invented that trope.
Going into heat? Tekkie wives said were gonna write it.
Fuck or die was basically trademarked in Trekkie fic
Any common lewd or ship trope in fandom existance? Thank some 25yo+ ladies who were really into Star Trek.
Mary sue is literally named for a (i believe) self insert into Trekkie fic.
These bitches ran so you could bitch about people walking while you crawl.
Never forget
To source it:
Sex Pollen: 50/50 credit between canon Poison Ivy and Star Trek (1966/1967)
Heat: Star Trek’s Pon Farr, but also canon elements of Sime-Gen (which, haha still draws from Star Trek)
F/uck or die: see Pon Farr again
Mary Sue: was coined in 1973 by Paula Smith who wrote a parody fic entitled “A Trekkie’s Tale” in her zine Menagerie, basically as a rant response to a trend in characterizations.
“Any common lewd or ship trope in fandom existance? Thank some 25yo+ ladies who were really into Star Trek.”
Absolutely accurate. Star Trek fandom really had it and made it all.
