Remember that hoax about a link between being a trekkie and being a kid toucher?

People always have to blame something. In the words of Chris Rock: "Whatever happened to crazy? People can't be crazy anymore?"

Psychologists just don't really have anything to do any more, all the good experiments have been done at teh coming of age of psychology.

Trekkies are creepy enough to lend some beleivability to idea that most pedos are Star Trek uber-fans. But the fact that this woman took it seirously and failed to question the link and instead just made the facts fit her theory shows she is just another practitioner of the Useless (tm) brand of psychology.
Isn't there supposed to be convincing evidence showing most psychologists are insane themselves?

Yeah it seems to me taking something backwards in order to find a generalization that could be used to form some sort of prejudice link. complete bull, but if you take it as such, it's kinda funny the way they struggle for an explanation

Like Tom Cruise, that brilliant thinker of our modern age, told Mat Lauer "Psychiatry is a pseudoscience".
What the hell? Trekkers are pædos? There was a hoax about that? Why?
As a Trekker, this study can kiss my ass...

Well, better the study than a preteen. Just kidding with you. Please don't be offended.
I've noticed a distinct paucity of naked children in Star Trek, actually, so a connection to pædophilia strikes me as unlikely.

Of course...

I'm a trekky, but i don't feel the need to go out and roger children. And i'm surprised she didn't look at the web address on that story. How the hell can she be a psychologist when she doesn't even notice this is a fake article?

this would be an exercise in psychology not psychiatry. psychology is oh so fun though...
anyway, i particularly enjoyed the line "There is another aspect of Star Trek that likely makes it irresistible to perverts."

That woman is as much a hoax as the link she's trying to support.
Wow. And I always thought that Trekkies spend there time in chat rooms talking to lesbians*

Not all of us are sexually deprived geeks. Many if us are suave, romantic and sociable.
We're still geeks though, and we're DAMN proud of it!
