Pretty much anything that’s considered “childish”. Apart from video games, Lego comes to mind.
Lego is a great one, good answer.
Yes. I've found that an open positive comment about Lego can create a sudden mini community of adults who don't get to talk about their Lego habit often enough.
Anecdotally, the raw data I have encountered seems to indicate that absolutely everyone who can afford any level of Lego habit, has a Lego habit.
I've met maybe two people who are too busy with their hardcore 10000 piece jigsaw puzzle habit to get into Lego.
I'm an adult who could afford it, but I don't. Out of fear of being judged. :(
Aw. Sorry if you feel you are missing out.
Seeing a Lego set on display (or in pieces) has only ever raised my opinion of people.
Any children's TV show, anyone who still watches My Little Pony as an adult is seen either as childish or as a creep (if male).
Because it is weird, to be honest. There's no shame in watching children's cartoons in general, but the problem is when people go out of their way to promote it. A lot of us don't really need to know, especially those that go the extra mile to re-create their saturday morning routines down to wearing PJs and eating cereal to watch cartoons. If you're going to put that out there, then you can't expect people to not judge you a little over it or get a head tilt.
There are just somethings that should be reserved and enjoyed in private.
