The reason of course is money apparently defines what is “good”.

    Think of how much the “train guy” gets made fun of for his super detailed scale model train set. Or the guys/gals that put a ton of energy and time into DnD. Both of those often involve a lot of math and planning. Which would normally be considered valuable skills, but spending time on those hobbies is generally (with exceptions of course) looked down on.

      Yeah, maybe you are right that “pop culture people” would look down on it because it’s not mainstream.

      I play DnD myself, so I guess I’m the wrong person to ask haha.

        I am thinking more like figure the % of people who would look down on DnD time vs working late at the office. It’s massively different. There are people who know better, but they are in the minority.
