THIS! ^ Many people are utterly obsessed with football, and seeing a bunch of men kicking a ball up a field, and it's like a Religion.
My DH likes science-fiction - and science fact (as do I) and he has an interest in I.T and is good with computers. (He works in I.T.) He is also a good artist. He has zero interest in sport. He has been Royally mocked for a number of decades by male relatives and male work colleagues (and even a few female ones!) for liking what he likes. And he's been called a 'fucking weirdo' and a 'freak' by numerous people - usually other men - for not liking football. People who judge others for not liking what they like, and who mock and deride them for it, are small minded idiots.
I know a number of people who like Disney, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Video gaming, Dr Who, and Star Wars etc, and have them as one of their main hobbies, and they have a lot of fun with it, with cosplay and conventions etc. And these type of people are the best, most amazing, and nicest people I know. MUCH nicer than the horrible, judgemental oiks who berate and judge them for their supposed 'nerdy' hobbies. I don't ever see people who like Disney, Sci-Fi, video gaming, and other supposedly 'nerdy' stuff, berating other people (who are not into the same stuff!)
There are some fucking awful comments on this thread.
