My initial thought is video games, everything has pros and cons, sure. However, it feels like anyone not into video games views them extrodinarly negatively. Any other hobbies parallel to that in your opinion?

Toys collecting. Especially dolls and or stuffed animals.

When a guy collects PokΓ©mon figures, that's fine and cool.

However when I like to buy myself Bratz dolls and Hello Kitty stuff and cute plushies, I'm told I am childish and I need to grow upπŸ™„πŸ˜’

Plushies rock.

Yeah, I feel like a massive Pokemon figurine collection would put a guy in the nerd/kidult basket as well. Of course, people should just mind their own business and let others do what they like.

Oh yeah no, I totally wear the kidult label with pride.

You will rarely ever see me without any emotion support plushie in tote

That's just your opinion 😊

I don't care about being cool. I collect childhood things because they make me happy.

I mean, you do you. I only talked about it because you posted about it. I'm very much "w/e none of my business" about that kind of stuff irl
