It would make way more sense for Stargate cosplayers to be at a renfaire since every single planet they went to on that series seemed to have villagers at about the renaissance level of technology (gotta wonder, did they have access to a bunch of medieval/renaissance sets for cheap lol?).
Of course, if you went as Stargate cosplayers you would have to basically dress up as para military wannabe chuds who’s personalities revolve around owning useless guns (like sword person who is obsessed with swords but way less fun) and being a bigot. People might not even recognize you are in costume and just assume you are a bunch of losers who express their freedom by going to renfaires carrying around murder weapons and dressing in tactical gear.
sigh
…better to go as the Star Trek cosplayers lol.

You’d never mistake a SG team for the bigots. There are women, and non-white people on the team!

Have I missed something? Is stargate regarded as bigoted now?

I think they were saying the opposite. The gun obsessed military types you see in public may be bigots. SG characters may look similar bat are various races and not bigots.

this got so out of hand at my local fest that they decided to do time traveller’s weekend as a theme. this year we went, and my costume was a cave man who hit his head on a tree branch while chasing a rabbit, woke up here and is amazed by everything

What a coincidence: just yesterday I rewatched the warehouse 13 episode where they’re at a civil war reenactment LARP and someone complains about the fucking trekkies always crashing their party as RPG time travelers.

Well, the renfaire people only get to be upset if this is the only anachronism in costumes

My friend who used to work at a ren faire says it’s a lazy overdone joke and the people who do it tend to be dicks.

I think if you’re going to go as a trek person they need to be in full renaissance clothing to not break the prime directive, but they can have pointy side burns.

And a tricorder that they occasionally check while trying to look sneaky.

This would also work with Stargate

A Foundation MTF exploring a temporal anomaly would also work, though I think less people would understand.
