What is the most offensive thing you can say to a Trek fan?

Most offensive thing? I imagine that given how volatile the fandom can be at times, particularly in the internet era, we’ve all developed pretty thick skins.

I guess one depiction I hate as a Star Trek fan comes from Frasier, a sitcom I otherwise love, and the character of one Noel Shemsky. For such a sophisticated, well written show, he’s a one-note, almost mean spirited, caricature of an incel nerd and Trek fan. Although I must admit I did often laugh nevertheless (thinking of four-breasted Rosalinda, surely lampooning Gene’s Vision…of Troi as a four breasted Betazoid ).

What an eloquent way of stating "I'm obsessed with breasts"
 
In the original series Klingons were just regular white people with brown makeup on

It makes no sense that Vulcans have sex only once every 7 years. Are they like the intergalactic equivalent of cicadas?

How come no one discusses why or how Whoopi Goldberg is running a bar that doesn't serve alcohol in outer space? Why is there a bar at all since you can just emulate whatever you want from those futuristic microwaves - why bother with waiters and bartenders at all?

There was this one episode on DS9 where there was a ghost of a Japanese baseball player or some shit that was lamenting that in the 23rd or whatever century no one watches baseball anymore. Its 2024 and people barely watch baseball now.

They were.

It doesn't.

It does serve alcohol, just in limited quantities and only by special request.

For the ambiance.
