fans are weird. I should know: I've been part of organized since I was too small to see over the tables in the huckster room, as we called it in the days when we printed fanzines on mammoth vellum.

are weird. Not fun weird like fen (something something dodged sabertooths uphill both ways). Just boring, depressing, will-you-please-go-away weird. Which to be fair, is the reaction some people have toward fandom, but usually when we encounter those people we let them be.

Flat-earthers who are also SF fans? That strikes me as a deep wrongness in the universe.

@medigoth

I unfortunately, know a Flat-Earther. He is convinced that the stars do not move. Obviously, not a SF fan.

Pretty sure he has Physics and Psychics contused.

@SpaceLifeForm I run into them a lot more than I'd like online, but if anyone I know actually believes that nonsense, I hope they never tell me.

@medigoth

This guy is so nuts, that I heard the same story over multiple days.

A MAGAt in the cult. Fortunately, I do not see him now.

@medigoth
Don't know any FlatEarthers, but I know that the moon has been laughing at them ever since they crawled out of the primordial slime. The people that I find astonishing are the SF fans who are also science-deniers.
