(sorry, no Trooper icon to go along with the subject line) If someone happened to be a fan at the relevant time(s), B7 offered not *only* a group of people who agreed with you that the blokes were shagging like weasels, but a canon in which technology was your enemy, nothing worked, and the dictatorship was more survivable than your friends.
So it's a great fandom for critique of politics and sexual politics. And, for those so inclined, a fandom that questions the very idea of order is also a good place for literary exploration.
B7 fandom has also tended to be post-adolescent, and well-educated (formally or autodidactically), allowing space for a certain amount of thoughtfulness between explosions of one sort or another.
