I feel like putting Axanar in quotes is a huge misunderstanding of the fact that Alec Peters was literally trying to build his own competing Hollywood-level studio off of the Star Trek IP. The guy was selling Axanar coffee and Star Trek t-shirts, taking in donations and trying to hire 'Trek alumni for the cast. He’s literally the guy who broke the system for everybody else.
