I would agree. I think ‘fan’ would apply to at least being into the lore. I’m not especially into the lore of Star Wars beyond what I see on screen. In Star Trek, I like discussing the lore, the “science,” etc. I’m definitely a fan.
I mean it’s implied that Q is just from a super advanced civilisation, rather than being innately magic. One of the first things we learn from Q is that he believes humanity has a chance of being a society that will some day be on the same level as them.
IMO the Q are presented as more of a Clarke’s Third Law (“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”) kinda thing. Think about how the Mintakans view Picard in the episode Who Watches the Watchers - they view him as being a magical, god-like being, due to them looking at him through the lense of a primative society. That’s how the Q are meant to appear to us.
The Force in Star Wars is never presented that way. It’s literally just a magical force that you can either tap into, or you cannot.
Yes, but I think “FanDom” implies “Fanatical Domination” meaning someone in The “FanDom” of a certain thing is sexually aroused by dominating other with their fanatical following of said thing.
That’s the only explanation I’ve been able to come up with and I find it hilarious so I’m sticking with it.
I’ve never understood this rift… I like Star Trek and Star Wars. Can’t we just agree that we’re all sci-fi nerds?

Uhhhgggh I have to be that nerd, Star Wars isn’t the future, it’s a long time ago, in the past.
In a galaxy far, far away.
Literally not in our galaxy. Not in a close one either. Star Trek is, with the exception of 1 episode (?), in the milky way galaxy.
They’re literally the first things we learn about Star Wars.

Star Wars is actually fantasy though.
The force is literally magic
Yup. It’s all about magic, swords, princesses, etc. There’s literally light and dark wizards.
It’s a fantasy series in a Sci-Fi environment.

Fixed that for you.
As opposed to Q?

If only it were that easy.
Gundam scares me because I know I will love it, and there is such a huge amount of it that I may never crawl back out of that hole.
Gundam has so many reboots and varying timelines and stuff.
I personally think 8TH MS Team is the peak show for a grounded war story version.

And Cons are about conning people into buying fan merchandize and provide a free advwrtisement in a form of cosplay.
My daughter likes going to cons just to look at the cosplay and she never buys anything, so I guess they only conned her out of the entry fee.
And fans are blowhards trying to push their favourite thing on others a spread it further and further.
It’s “Fanatical Domain” but I like your definition better
So say we all.
NEVER!
But what if I just like the stars?
