A purist would know that it’s not Star Trek if Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are not present. We don’t need French men with English accents or William T. Ripoff!
It probably means different things for different people, because like every other fandom, it’s kinda arbitrary.
I was kind of purist. I started with TOS, but TNG, DS9, and VOY were right then too. Didn’t care as much for Voyager, but it was ok. Skipped Enterprise completely. I have TAS but haven’t watched it. Actively disliked the Kelvin movies. I’ve missed all the new stuff because I don’t stream, except Lower Decks, which I find delightful. I’m gonna pick up Picard and SNW soon.
I guess you missed the part where he quoted the exact part of your comment that he was replying to. Or do you just want to ignore that part so you don’t have to defend it?
I just wish I saw more Star Wars references but not that bootleg Disney crap, I like my star wars like I like my bands in the EU.

wtf is a Star Trek “purist” and why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion?
Burn the heretic!

I love that your response to what a “star trek purist” is is a defense of bs opinions on the internet

you mean like they ignored the part of me asking what a “star trek purist” is? maybe you can shed some light on that.

Critique of media is so fun! It’s the clannish obsession with fighting over the objectively “true” instance of a piece of media that’s so tiring.
Though I agree it’s small potatoes, and usually just a proxy for generational or class fielty divisions.
Yeah I’ve spoken to enough young people who watched the prequels first that I no longer begrudge them their nostalgia.
I just don’t share it, and that’s ok. I’d rather define myself by what I enjoy than what I turn my nose up at.
Speaking of, have you heard the good word of Andor?? It’s the best thing to happen to Star Wars since greebles!!!
