I'm 40 now and have been collecting comic books and baseball/football/hockey cards since I was about 9. I'm sure most of you have heard how sports cards have been booming since Covid started and I was wondering if this was a hobby that could be taken over by the woke mafia like comic books. It is a hobby that is enjoyed by a large percentage of guys so that is one target. I am almost waiting for the headline telling me that baseball cards are "problematic".

Anything can be attacked/taken over by them, your worries aren’t unfounded. Always be aware of increasing bad actors, share only with people you trust and pick your fights wisely.
The key is to not let your worries about subversion take over your love of the hobby. I’d gotten to the point where I questioned if I ever loved video games in the first place, as I started to spend more time defending them than enjoying them.
I went through the Witcher games for the first time (CD Projekt Red has been pretty openly subverted, so I’m not too worried about sharing this) and that re-ignited my love. I’ve been trying to work on my backlog since, and I’m just so happy to see all the passion old games had. It inspires me to create my own stuff, since a lot of older games didn’t have to be too complex like modern games.
TLDR: Yes, you should be aware of attacks, but remember to enjoy your hobby, that’s why we call it a hobby! :)
Yea. I get you with gaming. The main game I play now is modded Skyrim.
