Why Is Liking Trains A Problem?
I started posting my railfan content to the internet. It seems I gain the most trolls on Facebook
I’d like to understand why liking trains is such a big issue. Why do trolls come after me for filming trains? Are these trolls like “How dare someone have a hobby?” Or something.
going to show some of the comments I get from my troll wall of shame.
Surprise, surprise, this is my job since I unlocked monetization on Facebook.
Lots of creator’s job is YT or whatever. If you want Yt as a side thing, that’s your choice. YT, content creation is my only job due to the flexibility it gives me as a chronically ill creator
There are way more but this blog would be a phone book if I listed them all. Why are hobbies frowned upon? Is railfanning THAT underrated? Or is it because I am a femme railfan?
In the other blog post, I said I identify as non-binary. so therefore I use femme. I’ve seen other non-binary bloggers use femme/masc since they don’t identify as a woman/man.
Maybe it’s sexism. Most train channels you see are mostly guys. Just because most guys like something doesn’t mean ONLY guys can like it. I did say I wanna play laser tag, maybe the sexism or whatever is just getting me ready.
I honestly don’t get it. I don’t get what’s so wrong with having a hobby. Even if you don’t understand it.
