a very interesting article but I wish the author had pursued the Trekkie angle further.
I hung out with a Dungeons and Dragons crowd for about 2 weeks in college. A good percentage were either homosexuals or satan worshipers (and openly so). And this was the late 70’s.
Definitely men who did not date or have normal relationships with women, and lived in a fantasy world.
I went to a SciFi convention where they brought in vendors from all over the US. Star Trek, Star Wars, and D&D stuff. I love Star Wars and Star Trek, but the people at this convention were creepy, even to a nerd like me.
The first time in my life I felt like I was in the presence of evil.
