You’re not. You are not a “Trekkie”. You don’t even know the significance of basic symbolism like the Red Shirt, or the simple fact that “Trekkies” don’t like to be called Trekkie at all. You never got picked on for liking the franchise, and you never had to hide the fact that you went to the conventions. You made fun of me for watching old re-runs when you thought it was stupid—no, no, strike that—didn’t get it. And now you want in on the bandwagon just because JJ Abrams made what was once considered quintessentially “geek” into “socially acceptable”? You’re NOT a fan, so shut the fuck up about it, you hypocritical d-bag.
