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?

      Rollerblading was so cool when I was younger and then that one joke came out and it died immediately. It didn’t take long for rollerblades to be permanently referred to as "Fruit Boots’. This was also back when casual homophobia was the de fecato standard amongst tweens.

      Hmm. I wonder if it’s like dancing or figureskating as a man, where people look down on it, but it brings massive romantic opportunity.
