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?

    Wargaming or anything that brings people to a hobby shop. Trains, RC vehicles, and kites are most acceptable and understandable to people on the outside but still looked down on.

        My husband’s parents were deep into that and forbade him from continuing to play D&D.

        Really wish they hadn’t passed before I met him. I met him when we played Call of Cthulhu together. At the local game store. Lol.

          Ohh I had that first edition, was one of my first steps outside Gary Gygax’s domain, along with the Marvel RPG rule set. I still remember the distinct way each of those books smelled.
