All too true.
I don't understand why people into any hobby strive so hard to 'normalize' something that isn't mainstream.
Why can't people accept they're into something the vast majority of people aren't into and just revel in the fun they have from it?
For me, the funny part is that nobody ever mentions the geeky quality of model trains as I'm into far more geeky stuff than that... I am into sci-fi, have gone to Space Camp as an adult three times (and plan to go next year) among other interests I have.
Geek? Sure. And I have no problem with it.
