Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.
Offroading.
Like, I just want to spend too much money breaking my truck to go play in the mud or camping in the middle of nowhere on the weekend, not throw massive alcohol fueled frat parties in the desert and annihilate the environment in my jacked-up, curb princess of a Ram covered in a thousand miniature suns and "~~Don't tread on me~~ Please tread on me, daddy" stickers
It was legit shocking to me to see the nascent Geek Dodecatheist neo-pagan movement be co-opted and then basically taken over by the fascists. I followed it from when they were basically tree-huggers, and last time I visited one of their Olumpus gatherings, I was shocked at the amount of fash rhetoric. Lost all interest right there and then.
this is how I feel about people who are really, really into Hearts of Iron IV.
Ah yes. I have this conversation occasionally. I know a lot of people who started explaining their reenactment hobby as "I'm with a reenactment for a british regiment and we do mostly ww1 and ww2, for a british group, playing allied soldier"
Thankfully, I just do medieval and napoleonic.
Linux and crypto users. Sometimes, people just use monero for it's technical merits....
Oh, you have an anime profile picture and are posting on Twitter in 2013?
Hydroponics as well I guess. My DIY automated grow room with a water pump, grow lights, heater and plant shaker (for pollination) always has people think I'm growing weed but I just want chillies and tomatoes.
Yeah I'm not here for this. I just felt this massive wave of fatigue wash over me as I read it.
Like it or not you're going to run into weirdos in just about every hobby. All preemptively judging people does is teach people to keep to themselves. We're already building up a society of loners where people struggle to connect to each other with various other causes(loss of third places for example). We don't really need something like this pushing people further apart, especially when that ultimately drives peoples empathy for each other down too.
We come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
Something about people finding someone who shares their interest in hobby and immediately starts to question them politically amuses me.
Try being a Warhammer 40k enjoyer. Some people forget that humanity are STILL BAD GUYS in 40k.
As someone who casually enjoys 40K, it has a tendency to attract some of the most rancid people. OSR has this problem too sometimes, but its not nearly as bad as 40k. And the general RC hobby. Part of the reason i don't fly fpv drones as much as I'd like too, can't stand the chuds at the airfield I've never met a more unhappy group of people, and they don't even fly anything there either!
