  So as a Star Trek fan, I should dress up as a Star Wars fan to please the Star Wars fans looking for Star Trek fans posting as Star Wars fans? Regardless of my desire to pretend to be a Star Wars fan and get into all the interactions that entails? I don’t know if you see yet why people find this objectionable.

    Should? There you go making it about right and wrong again. It’s not about should, it’s about if. If you did, then they’d have a better experience of you. If you care about that, then go do so. If not, then don’t. But they still get to express themselves on the subject, like any person does about their experiences.

    It’s very easy to find something objectionable when you intentionally make into something objectionable.

      Who is better suited to know how someone can better present themselves than those having the experience of being presented to?

      If one should not do the better thing, then I don’t know what “better” means.

      Maybe it’s clearer if I use the same vocabulary as you:

      If you care about that, then go do so. If not, then don’t.

      That’s the entire point. I know what I want. You don’t know that about me. All you can know is what you want.

        Ppl do the not better thing all the time. Doesn’t make them wrong or right.

        Its better, for the fan. Not necessarily for you.
