“In Germany, when someone is really into football (soccer for the Americans) they party with their club, they train with them, and when they get too old they start to train the youth.

I was criticized by other friends when I opened my Pop figures and put them on the shelf. “You can’t do that!” Dude. My brother in Christ. Do you not remember Beanie Babies? These things have no value, it’s coming out of the box and going on display where I can enjoy it.”

“Deep into Anime… Gives off really weird vibes especially when people fawn about sparsely dressed underage girls…” Said one.
“This but it’s with anything. When you’re too deep into something it’s all you talk about and anyone you’re interested in who even talks about it mildly gets fetishized, anyone who disagrees with you a connoisseur of said hobby gets bashed for not knowing what they’re talking about.”

Leathercraft

“One of my hobbies is leathercraft. I have been told it’s a red flag by a vegetarian. Nearly all leather is a side product of the meat industry so my point is might as well use the whole animal.
She didn’t share that opinion, so I never brought it up and she’s the only friend who doesn’t get leather goods as gifts. I refuse to sell anything I make, so I just give it all away.”
