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?

Mushroom hunting; most people think the only mushrooms you find in the woods are magic or poisonous
Depends if you know what you’re doing. If so, cool hobby! If not, rip your liver and kidneys.
One of my mates goes with his wife and kids to forage for morel mushrooms, it’s a big family activity and they love it.
I haven’t tried Morel mushrooms though, would like to give them a go with what he has said about them (we are separated by ocean or I would ask him, at the right time of year).
“Most people” where? Online or in your social circle? I have never heard this from anyone, not even online.
You’re saying that if you told the average person you’re going mushroom hunting, they wouldnt give you the side eye of implication? I’d definitely tend to agree with the original comment.
Yes pretty much, it’s a quite common fall activity here. Mostly families or seniors doing it, and I’ve never directly talked to someone about it, but I don’t think anyone would honestly think about poisoness or magic mushrooms (maybe jokingly ask about it).
Hmm. I’m guessing not North America?
Wow that’s pretty surprising, it’s definitely not common here.
I live in the stereotypical part of the US which is all soulless suburbs and people taking kids to school in SUVs. Most people don’t think about food unless they buy it at the grocery and I am a bit of a black sheep where I live for even having a garden
Ugh. Lots of things about living in a rural area are shit, but that’s one things that’s genuinely much better. Although there’s still food taboos about certain plants, like dandelions.
