Bingo. Just like video games, television/movies, work, collectibles, exercise, and house pets, any activity can become problematic, but it's not the activity itself that's the problem. The issue is the underlying pathology that drives someone to unhealthy levels of engagement.
It just occurred to me how willing society is to overlook problematic behavior if it's "productive". 80 hours a week working or making art? Likely to be accepted. 80 hours a week spent collecting figurines or working on your train set? Whoa there, crazy conductor!
