You are 1000% right.
Not to be too off topic--but I think what you said in a nutshell is right about alot of things regarding judgement by average ppl in day to day society. "Without judgement what would we do? Our perception would increas a million times"-Death/Without Judgement. To put it another way it's amazing how quick someone is to bust my balls about collecting action figures when I'm not bothering anyone...what's more amazing is the fact I haven't given that person a fat lip yet. |

Most people are impressed...I think the average person wishes they too had kept their childhood things. And as I work on my display room I find those same people are interested in its progress and want to be see it when it gets finished (but honestly are those things ever finished...you guys know what I'm talking about.)
My wife has a casual tolerance of it all...I'm not certain she likes it but she on occasion feigns interests for like 30 seconds or so...her most often overheard statement is "I like the red ones." My display of Crimson Guardsmen. My nephews love it, but their 5 and 2...my neice, is 16 and while she's never really fallen into the same stuff I like, Joe, TF, Trek, SW she's always credited her ability to remain open to watching, reading or listening to anything to how much she's always suprised by what she see's in the books (both comic and regular), music and shows I've opened her to. And she has her own interests as well, Harry Potter, Musicals other things as well so it looks like the feel has at least worn off on her if not the exact same hobbies. I guess if one person in my world understood my collecting habits it was my Mom, who always encouraged me to take care of my things and always took an interest in things...she was a big Star Wars fan watched it all the time hated the prequels, but did enjoy ROTS. She credited Aliens as "Scaring the piss out of her" but we watched it EVERY single time it was on. (I buried her with a damn copy of the film...no joke). She also loved Temple of Doom. And was always amazed by the Transformers toys, saying, "Its incredible the amount of genius that goes into making not just one toy that is so complex it can change but thousands of them...mostly differant transformations too." And best of all she always said this, "He don't drink, he don't do drugs, he don't smoke, he don't gamble, so if all he does is collect a few things, I think that makes him a pretty good person." Thanks Mom! |

Throwing toy collecting out on the "first date" is like when chicks turn the conversation towards their biological clock and settling down and having kids!
Usually only bad things come from it

People didn't make fun of the guy who started this thread because of his toy collection...No, that's not the reason at all.

I tend not to go there in the course of an "average" conversation. Not to mention, I think I have enough sense to know whether or not there is going to be an adverse reaction based on whom I am speaking to. I don't tend to share those things with people who I am not familiar with. Doing otherwise exhibits a lack of common sense and decorum.
