Am I the only one who appreciates that a show with the acronym STD is all about space fungus?

  Eh, but in practice the only people who use STD rather than DSC are people who don't like it and go out of their way to shit on those who do. So using "STD" has turned into kind of a unsavory gatekeepy dogwhistle. It tends to bring out the worst types of stereotypical toxic fandom. /r/DaystromInstitute even automod-bans it for that reason.

    DIS is a better short form anyway, matches VOY and ENT.
