The stereotype of the Star Trek fan being a hopeless geek makes me laugh because like

The Star Trek fandom basically invented fanfic in its current form

Also, we invented slash.

- with all due respect, evidence of slash goes back at least as far as the Jane Austen days; if not earlier.

Ok so I didn’t even expect this post to be reblogged at all it was just a dumb observation and my posts never take off so I was unprepared but

This kind of comment is the most common one on the post so just for clarification:

  • Naturally, fanfiction and slash have both been around for probably as long as there has been literature
  • However, fanfiction and slash, as they exist in the 20th century
  • Like, as an online phenomenon on this scale and of this nature
  • Comes from the Star Trek fandom
  • Which is why I included “in its current form” not only in the post itself but in the italicised part
  • I’m not responsible for the slash comment but a similar caveat applies
  • And the word “slash” comes from Kirk Slash Spock so etymologically it is a valid statement
  • But yeah added emphasis on the “in its current form” bit
  • No disrespect intended to the person I reblogged it’s just you’re the latest one to make that comment I’m not singling you out or anything and I am not denying that fanfiction and slash have existed in various forms prior to the words “fanfiction” and “slash” as they are applied today
  • Thank

fun fact one time i auditioned for a play and the character called for a russian accent and i did mine for the director and got the part and she stopped me on my way out and asked my how i got it so believable sounding and i didn’t have the heart to tell her it was because of the amount of time i spend imitating chekov from star trek when i’m home alone

i’m nominated for an acting award at my school now because of this

Point of fact, I’m always attracted to John.

Homemade pizza at mah buddies house. This is their pizza cutter.

It’s not about the actor… it’s about what the actor represents, which is the fact that at some point, the creators of this film decided that there was no brown person good enough to play a character which is a brown person.

And that’s f—- bullshit. That’s insulting to every non-white actor working on the planet, and it’s insulting to every non-white person in the potential audience. That’s it. That’s all it’s about.

defcock: i’m going to try to keep this simple. writes “People being upset about Star Trek’s racefail has nothing to do with [Cumberbatch] as an actor or as a person. you don’t have to defend him.” (via racebending)
