There are so many things I would like to collect or hobbies related to my interests I would like to get into but cannot because they are prohibitely expensive.
CDs, Records, and Music equipment in general? TOO FUCKING BAD, I was born too late to buy them when people were giving those away basically for free and by the time I got money to buy stuff they have become collectables and prices are horrible in my country
Miniature painting? "TOO FUCKING BAD" Games Workshop said after seeing the contents of my wallet
And so on and so on with all the collectables or hobbies I would like. That would leave me with my special interest in theology, mythology, culture and all things pertaining to anthropology since that's free. But is so difficult to talk to other people about that because at every single attempt you get visited by mister "Akstually, religions are cancer and there was never, NEVER, an organic evolution of theology in any religion ever in existence no matter what scholars and historians say. It was just religious leaders changing the lies to better fit the current narrative, they are manipulating you". IM NOT EVEN RELIGIOUS OR BELIEVE IN THAT STUFF, LITERALLY JUST INTERESTED ON IT IN THE SAME WAY THE PEOPLE YAP ABOUT HISTORICAL BATTLES OR EVERY SINGLE DETAIL OF AN SPECIFIC TANK MODEL.
Then you would think "Oh that's easy, just talk about ancient mythologies to avoid controversial subjects" and I thought that too, and even seems to work for a while. But then witches & wizards, pagan revivalists, New Agers or people that somehow think mythology had a strick canon like it was a videogame more start appearing, and it becomes very difficult because somebody thinks only one version of a myth is canon and won't get angry at you, or if you talk about the historical beliefs of an specific ethno-cultural group in a specific time period you get hit with the "ARE YOU TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY OWN RELIGION TO ME?" Like wtf, no, you aren't a plebeing Greek urbanite in the coast of Anatolia in the year 2 BC.
This is a cry for help, Im too broke and Anthropology like my one special interest that is free but I don't like prolly getting mad at me
