#ScienceFiction fans are weird. I should know: I've been part of organized #fandom 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.
#FlatEarthers 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.

Pretty sure he has Physics and Psychics contused.
