Just once I'd like a post where everyone is chill and positive about stuff instead of focusing on negative

Edit: I dunno why I expect people to ever be capable of being positive anymore. Dunno why I bother.

Camp is an intentionally over-the-top stylistic choice, it's a specific well defined style. It doesn't just mean "silly" or "cheesy". Star Trek isn't camp.

Sorry to be that guy but it's one of my pet peeves.

Plenty of Trek camp was/is very much self-aware and intentional.

SNW S1e8 and trouble with tribbles. Just off the top of my head.

Also, many holodeck eps and the ones where everyone is horny.
