A lot of Star Wars fans are either idolizing the Empire and the Dark Side for their positions of power and control, or the Space Wizards who go out of their way to be naive and get struck down for the better good. If they're not wearing rebel gear, they're not default trustworthy.

If someone watches enough Trek to wear the gear and is open about it, they are at least not against diversity and equality in their fantasy choices.

    Also, a lot of normies like Star Wars as a normal action franchise, so there's some general randomness to the sample. Star Trek pretty specifically appeals to that specific type of nerd, there's a lot more consistency in the results you can expect.
