    Thinking that things they don’t enjoy should not be enjoyed by anyone else, and complaining bitterly about people enjoying those things.

      Yeah similarly, when a pastime or hobby is shared among a large group in society or culturally or whatever, someone who doesn’t enjoy or partake in said hobby is seen as weird (or worse).

      Case in point: I’m a dude who looks like I should watch sports. I hate sports spectating. Having the “why don’t you watch football” conversation comes up annoyingly too often.

      Yes. This and its inverse make no sense. I love spicy food. Do I need everyone else in the world to like it, or to have my musical taste or disdain for straight hair? NO. You do you, why would what you like have anything to do with what I like? Why would I care if you hate what I like? It has no bearing on my enjoyment.
