easy joke is autism, but i suspect it's something more intrinsic to the hobby/interest in question, perhaps something vital to the interest that is wholly incompatible with marxist dogma.
it wouldn't have to be the same specific element necessarily, just anything that's rubbed the wrong way by the communist worldview within any of the resistant groups. gaming for instance is aggressively meritocratic, to the point that games guides will often go into excruciatingly minute details on the stats of this or that specific item or choice.
speaking of stats, maybe we're looking too narrowly, sports is a more mainstream hobby that's also very meritocratic, meticulous in its study of statistics, and has also pushed back (and hard) on communist indoctrination. granted, the major institutions embraced it wholeheartedly, but the fans have been anything but welcoming of the intrusion.
Heavy metal, while a semi-niche genre today, was pretty mainstream at one point. i couldn't pin down a specific element that would rub metalheads the wrong way about communism, but i don't think it's statistics. certainly, if you can't play worth a damn, they aint interested, though.
oh dude, you're talking to someone who still can't filter loud noises, because his mother bottlefed him hair metal in the eighties. (I think Queen is probably my favorite band, but then I also swear they invented heavy metal, got bored, and made something else,lol. they were probably one of the most experimental rock bands of all time). I definitely liked ripper owens on The glorious burden, though i don't know if I'd call him my favorite per say...
