Examples that come to mind:

  • saying your favorite video game is Disco Elysium
  • saying your favorite TV show is Star Trek DS9

The two rules are that:

  1. It has to be to do with a category that is socially acceptable to talk about with most people in a casual setting. So no politics or philosophy.
  2. Nothing too on the nose, ex, no "I love the music of the Red Army Choir" or something.

One thing I did previously that seemed to raise a few eyebrows was during "bonus season", i.e. when you are supposed to write a description for why you deserve some kind of bonus for the work you did the previous year, and I just asked my coworkers if they knew whether our boss' bonus was paid from the same pool of money as ours, since that would impact how you write your description. I used the phrase "which side [bosses name] was on" which caused a few of the old-heads to look at me funny. Apparently just pointing out that interests can be opposing is enough to get me branded as a "naive young radical".
