Trekkies or Trekkers

[dantesinfernal0]

Trekkies are the ones who treat Star Trek like a religion.

@Rowskid86 SOmehow i agree with you, Gene coined the term trekkie and that works for me. Someone refers to themselves as a trekker, I generally ignore them from that point on. In my mind it's good way to point out that you are not A TOS watcher or fan.

These two should go to a place they have never gone before..............OUTSIDE.

I guess that makes me not a true star trek fan... I was never bothered by the term trekkie.. Actually, I didn't hear about trekker until I saw the movie "Fanboys"

I am a Trekkie , I prefer the term "Trekkie", I don't give a shit if some assholes think of it as a disrespect, it is not. If Roddenberry used the term "Trekkies" then that's it.

@Timepiece80 I agree, whatever Roddenberry coined should be the standard, i believe there is an interesting line about that in "Trekkies"

At a Star Trek convention many years ago when Gene Roddenberry used the term Trekkies" to describe fans of the show, only to be corrected by a fan that stood up and yelled "Trekkers!" Gene Roddenberry responded with "No, it's 'Trekkies.' I should know — I invented the thing." THE END!
