Why is there such animosity between Star Wars fans and Star Trek fans?

Personally I believe this has to do with the way things are perceived and you’re usually more of a fan of one than the other. I feel that even if you like both, usually you like one over the other. Since they are in competition with one another, if you like one over the other, you tend to stick up for it.

From my knowledge, it is usually more mainstream people who like Star Wars and the actually “geeks and nerds” that enjoy the Star Trek. I have noticed this from my friends, family and on T.V. There also seems more terminology and actual science involved with the Star Trek. I think that possibly the “geeks and nerds” think that Star Wars is inferior and a copy cat by product of sorts.My favorite is Star Wars and I am not extremely smart as far as tech, math and science goes.

My brother loves Star Trek, he is a brainiac!

This is a false perception perpetuated by the media and unrealistic portrayals of geek culture. While there are some fans of each franchise that like only that franchise and despise the other, I believe the two fandoms intersect more than most people realize. I like both, and I think most people who like one or the other also like the other one, as well.

Of course it's hard not to like one more than the other, but I can be more of a Star Trek fan and still love Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
