It's not considered normal, and society enforces normality.
Unfortunately it's just as important to make sure others are part of the herd as it is for an individual to make sure he or she is part of the herd. You don't want to be food for predators, right?
We really haven't had much more than a generation for major toy collecting, and once we have more people who can say, "Yeah, my father used to collect those," it'll get a little better. If people see an eighty-year-old guy today wearing a conductor's cap and running model trains, they don't really say much. It's his hobby, and something for him to do. But there have been model trains for generations.
Otherwise, yeah, I really don't get the idea behind acting like you're put out by someone else doing something that makes them happy. I'm not sure why "growing up" is leaving behind what makes you happy but not leaving behind the playground attitude that what makes a person different makes them wrong.
