I never said it was the majority, I said the heaviest most vocal ones.
These people made Star Trek the original toxic fandom, it's not a new observation.
Your characterization is simply untrue. Your personal experience may have led you to believe that but I take great offense at you coloring an entire fandom with a crayon that isn't even in their box. Also heaviest and most vocal also is clearly untrue considering the heaviest and most vocal trekkies push the inspiring aspects of the world. You also don't get to say that a fandom is toxic when openly admitting that the majority were not part of what you claim.
Your personal experiences are not universal. It is a new observation. Frankly I'm not a huge fan of you using such enormously wide brush strokes to paint an entire fandom as toxic that you know nothing about.
