Religion. 🤌🏼
pokemon card, especially around collecting(specifically collection porn, they have no interest in the game itself but get the rush from opening and getting a rare card) and playing it(mostly around the mechanics and gameplay). and they aggressively defend any possibility the current nature of the game is very wrong. i wasnt happened upon a discussion board around this. something similar , but people think chronic lyme is actual disease, there is a whole industry and cult around this thing, its unreal. and the people most pedaling it are MDs giving unsanctioned advice and prescriptions. and people defend(the disease) this like they defend donald trump(anything that contradicts the validity of CL is met with extreme hostilities)
I feel like it would be easier to list the hobbies that aren't, based on the answers so far.

Warhammer.
Gunpla, pop/labubu, liquid-cooing/overclocking, 3D printing, drones/RC

Knitting. It's part witchcraft, part voodoo.
The single thing I miss about Reddit is r/knitting. It was the only consistently kind and supportive niche sub I ever frequented. I learned a lot from them and even when someone posted something kind of ugly or not right, everyone was like, “keep it up! You’ll be doing sweaters in no time!” Sometimes people were snobs about yarn but usually for just themselves… not knocking on another user not opting to buy expensive hand spun/hand dyed yarns especially when it’s clear they were beginners. Ah I miss it honestly.
