Any hobby involving the harassment or abuse of an animal is, at best, a sign of a jerk and at worst a sign of a future serial killer.

I have 4 rules: bills paid, taxes filed, fridge full, job secure? Then harm no one and do what you will.

you also collect things from your childhood as an adult because you can now afford the things you wanted without your mom saying "wait til your birthday", even if it just sits on a shelf.

10:09 I remember dating a girl in highschool who wasn't this bad, but definitely had phone addiction. We were in the park kissing at one point when her phone dings. She suddenly stopped and grabbed her phone with wide eyed urgency only to find a KZfaq notification. Something about it kinda killed the moment and rubbed me the wrong way, it was like a weird compulsory reaction.

Usually, its not the hobby that's a red flag, but how much they are into it. I have a friend whose entire family is super into Disney. Went on 2 Disney cruses a year, even when her and her sister where in high school/college. But, it isnt all that she does

I recall at a party a girl acted really entitled saying she is famous and how come I don't know her (she was some tiktoker) All I said was "I'm sorry I must have missed the episode of COPS "

Trophy hunting. I am okay with people who hunt (sustainably) for food, but people who hunt for photo ops and taxidermied souvenirs creep me out.

I read somewhere that there are very little concerns when it comes to children once they become a financial resource for the parents. It said that the more money a child can bring in for a parent the less they care in terms of the child's well-being and health. That made me physically sick.

Watching some random guy on the internet reading out reddit comments is an absolute red flag! 🚩

"what hobby is an immediate red flag" Stalking.

Being too much into celebrities. I'm in a number of fandoms, and every time I talk to a fan online or want to follow a fanpage i first look through their page to make sure they're not crazily obsessed with the fandom's subjects. Some of the things I've seen: - celebrating birthdays of a celebrity's kids -calling someone a fake fan because they didn't recognize a celebrity's mother in law -arguing about who's better for a celebrity, their current partner or an ex -bullying and harrassing somebody else just because their favourite celebrity is feuding with them -after a celebrity dies, acting like they're hurting just as much as that celebrity's friends and family -constantly talking about how 'hot' a celebrity is and sexualizing them -taking sides in in-group/ familial feuds And that's not even the half of it! Don't get me wrong, I'm really into some of my fandoms and can go on and on about them for hours- but i stay the hell out of the people's private lives. That's just creepy af

Honestly once you reach a certain number, the prank channel isn’t a hobby it’s a job

I will have to agree on child beauty pagents because of how harmful they are to little girls. I never liked seeing the girls all made up to look like miniature Barbie dolls!

I can absolutely also agree that next to being a sociopath as a hobby, being an influencer or chronically online is the biggest red flag

IMO you're never too old for plushies

This is funny. I keep snakes, tarantulas, and scorpions as a hobby. For some it's a red flag, and for others it's a point of interest. I see it as a good filtering mechanism.

I wouldn't say one of my hobbies (model railroading) is a red flag, though I have seen little red flags for sale that one can put on the backs of train cars.

Recording everything we do for Instagram, and people who are always on dating apps.

Why do I have a feeling the first story is about David Dobrik. I’ve met a few people who went to school with him and they all have veryyyy similar stories💀

20:08 I agree with this because it reflects something that I personally had to experience. When I was little, (I was 12 to be precise), and my sister 2, mom got afflicted with hypothyroidism and she was one of the cases that needed the destruction of her thyroid gland by radioactive iodine. During that time we were medically forbidden of going with mom and for her to come close to us was just as forbidden because she could literally (albeit unwillingly) exude that radiation and sicken us. Dad worked as a teacher back in the day and sometimes my grandpa (by my father side) came in to watch over us but for some things I had to step up filling the necessary place of an adult, changing my sis diapers, making her food (the mashed potatoes, mango, or whatever she was taking at that moment). I had to make some financial decisions, etcetera... I literally had to fill in as an adult for some things and during some time. And when that time was over I kept doing so until my late teen years. I begun collecting Model kits and many things because I begun watching Mecha anime, the child long forgotten by that situation resurfacing to make up for the lost childhood time. I, to this day, still collect those model kits…

i knew someone who "collects" names. they would come across a name they haven't heard of and write it down on their phone or a notebook. and they would sometimes say that "more people should have unique names." it wasn't necessarily a red flag, but it was still strange

"Hunting" skinwalkers for days without shopping

I had a guy friend try to set me up with one of his friends… who cut up small woodland creatures with machetes. My Dad had heard of this creep and told my friend that if he mentioned it again then my Dad would kick both their butts.

Do y’all think graffiti is a red flag? Why or why not

THe first four minutes are not descriptions of hobbies, but mental illness. Most of it is.

1:29, Was is Nogla who skipped his sister’s wedding to play Fortnite with Ninja? 😂

As a woman and a geek, honestly lewd anime figures are ok in my book, as long as it's not child characters! My ex (I was with him 7 years) had many anime figures, the two of us were big anime watchers and yeah, lewd figures are often better quality. Or super badass ones, those are super cool! Sadly badass ones are often way more expensives. You can found nice figurines without being lewd, but depending on the anime, sometimes it's more easy and sometimes it's really hard to find non lewd ones. So my ex had a mix of badass and kinda lewd figures. He wasn't a creep, and still isn't, he's just passionate about anime he loved and want figures as keepsakes of his favorites animes. I do have fews myself, I have only one sexy one, the others are just cool figures.

People who post their self harm picture online, I had a classmate who posted her countless cut wrist on twitter and I instantly unfollowed her.

I see a pic of Sanji, I click. Anyone else here a big One Piece fan, or is it just me? Also, story #21: 16:42 The time they bring up that one friend who bought this guy that lewd Nami figure. I bet that guy was really happy for the awesome gift.

A red flag i have is: they have ZERO hobbies and all they do is go to work (or college), eat at work (or at the cafeteria), come home, eat dinner, then sleep. They don't watch tv, read books, play video games, etc. They're really and i mean REALLY hard to figure out what to have a conversation about when all they do is work, eat, sleep, and repeat. If you say, "have you seen (insert movie here)?" Then the person replies with, "No. I don't have hobbies." That's a big red flag.. Edit: since I feel like I have to clarify: BEING A PARENT ISN'T A HOBBY AND I DIDN'T SAY THAT!!

This is why I don’t ask Gary what he is doing in his garage all night.

I always wanted a ragdoll toy, 38 years later, I managed to come across one in a thrift/charity store, best couple of quid spent.

These are not hobbies, these are actions.

I agree with the influencers who are trying to become famous for no good reason at all. I remember hearing about one that took selfies of herself in front of the coffin at a funeral (there unfortunately are probably a lot more than one that have done that) I do like influencers that teach you something. I follow a few artists that I've learned new methods in painting and drawing that have made my artwork better.

I go to conventions and get anime figurines (non-lewd and usually Nendroids) based on the honorary guest I saw at a convention. I see it as a talking piece and telling a story about that time. But I go to gaming, car, beer, and electronics (CES) conventions as well. They include international conventions too.

Any harassment of animals to people is a first sign of a serial killer. A good hobby is like cooking,browsing the internet, or something

the post about family vlogging made me so upset...how are they really going to post and sell "sexy" pics of their own children..? thats so horrible and nauseating

14:00 I will be honest, I like debating when it is a genuine “[argument] may be true, but [counterargument]” or something alike where it’s really just whoever has the most reasonable evidence or thoughts. Once name calling, slander, threats, and whatever childish behavior gets thrown into the mix, I usually part ways (usually after a counter argument or pointing out the “unnecessary roughness”). I sometimes get praised for my argument style when I make a point.

Someone once went after me on DeviantArt. I posted a picture of Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee after picking them up at GameStop since I preordered them, and this person posted on my profile that those games are “bad” and that Pikachu and Eevee are “badly designed Pokémon” trying to force their own opinion on me as if it were a fact. I don’t have a problem with people hating Pokémon I like or vice versa. Personally, I love Pikachu and Eevee. I have a bunch of Pikachu merch as well as an Eevee alarm clock in my room. I bet this person never even played Let’s Go Pikachu or Eevee.

Here are some hobbies I see as red flags: Gambling Taxidermy Prank channels Hunting for sport Child pageants Clout chasers

7:51 THOSE PARENTS ARENON THEIR GRIND SET!!! 😂😂😂😢😢😢😢

Having a collection of lewd or non lewd anime figures or just anime merch could mean the people is actually supporting the artist more than the studios do. Animators don't get good pay

Sometimes we collect toys bc we didnt get to have a childhood i dont go around collecting things but i did buy a bayblade i saw and a bakugan it felt like the kid everyone tried to kill got some sort of happy end even if it isnt so happy

Model railways are fine (I am a member of the Sam's Trains community). But they can get a touch.... obsessive! Same for trainspotters (also known as gricers or foamers), which I used to be as a child (into young adulthood). I suppose it is probably harmless, all you'll get is a nerdy obsessive, but.....😉😥 Ps. BTW, I read a lot of Marshall McLuhan. I think I am reasonably safe. Hope you like conversations about communication, though!

Im here like: people really are confused as to what actually makes a hobby, a hobby.

When he said roaming the world unsupervised i just Knew it was pokemon 🤣🤣🤣

Story 23: absolutely agree, well said

The toy thing and anime thing is because when I was younger I had no money. Now with a good job I can buy the things I wanted as a kid

I have a lot of hobbies and can talk about a lot of various topics (my disclaimer). Being an adult, it’s nice to live out the joys I couldn’t as a child. There were a lot of things I wanted and wanted to experience but simply couldn’t because I grew up in a poorer household. It’s nice to be able to find that joy now that I’m an adult and have money in the budget for small joys.

8:12 I'm eating right now and almost choked when I heard him say "Pimping their kids on OnlyFans". That's horrifying.

I lost a friend because he went from twenty-five thousand subscribers on KZfaq to about 60,000 in the time I've met him and now he's well over 100,000 and accusing me of s*** that's not true and ruining my reputation in the community so I empathize with that first story

My honorable mentions: Taxidermy and Dollhouse making. 💀👾

People who absolutely cannot compromise at all. It has to be their way or they bail.

Story 10 screamed Dexter!!!😭

#1 reminds me of an old book by Isaac Asimov, "the robots of dawn", where the daughter of a famous scientist/psychiatrist tells about how he treated HER like a lab-rat for most of her life...

I find so hard to tell when its a story and when the uploader is commenting, I know there colored text but if I try to just listen - there is barely any time from the texts, and the voice remains unchanged. No background music or sound cues, or reading "Story #" out loud...

Not a weeb - well, not really; I like anime/manga sometimes - but a huge nerd. I collect a lot of art posters (Jason Metcalf is a great artist and I have a few of his pieces, as well as a few other things) as well as a couple pop figures and some collectible Pez dispensers...bunch of different stuff. I like collecting stuff, including actions figures. I have a Jay Garrick Flash figure still in the box hanging on my wall. I don't think collecting toys and the like is necessarily a red flag, but I think it depends on what you're collecting. Headshots of girls you wanna boink? Now THAT's a red-flag collection...

#16 reminds me of a line in a story: someone used to enjoy going to "ren faires", until they were ruined by the "authenticity naz!s", who harassed anyone who was not in a "propfer costume... DESPITE not even WORKING there! that's right, guests were harassing other guests for not having "proper" costumes!

People who post "family content" not every moment in your life needs to be documented and posted. The "moving into my first apartment" or "apartment tour" or "house tour" videos are fine became they help people or at least provide motivation. But if you involve kids in your content creation is where I draw a line in the sand.

19:35 I would say it depends on what it is. Some people are neurodivergent and end up with hyperfixations and special interests, and it's all they want to talk about (mine is Supernatural).

Omg that poopin guy is hilarious. Who gives their real social media accounts to coworkers anyway. But this guy took shitposting to new heights

For me it’s those people that you can’t be friends with a boy and a girl, and always asking “what’s your type? Is that your boyfriend?” It drove me insane, but she will only date black boys with dreadlocks and are taller than her. Also, I’m a horse girl, I don’t take offence but I’m just wondering what they were talking about, it really depend on the people, barrel racers… Well if you love snotty rude, competitive, sassy, bratty, always complaining, has no reguards for then safety of others, then the barrel racer is for you! Trust me there are better people.

Its also kinda weird not to have a hobby 🤣

The 1st one is basically all i needed to hear and it makes you sad in daily life knowing all thats wrong with the world. The fact people like that exist is gross and sad. I even caught people recording me without permission. She was a register girl and seemed to put on quite a show for nothing. I felt like maybe I would of been the next "karen" but some times people bring out the karen in you! If she was live on anything hopefully any1 watching sees her for what she is. I called her out like idk if yer recording but you can calm down(or something like that it was a long time ago)

Amazed that not a single person said League

I've got a few that usually take some explanation. To start off, I have pretty bad ADHD, so when I get into a thing, I REALLY get into that thing until the stimulation wears out. I have a lot of collections. No one cares that I have a hundred signed concert posters, and band merch, but the Gunpla models on every shelf, and the Lego kits admittedly give off an immature vibe. The one that gets people though is guns. I like building things, and creating, and figuring out mechanics and such (See the aforementioned Gunpla and Lego collections). Ok, so I had an AR, and I wanted to add some parts, but I was afraid to break it...well, screw it. I'll figure it out. Took it all apart and put it back together. Tore it down again, and added some upgrades. Nice. Well, they're all boring black rifles. I want to make a cool one. Blue anodized! Built from scratch! Well...I almost expanded my chemistry collection by a factor of 5 learning to anodize, and I have a full gunsmithing set of tools now...and 19 more AR rifles. Yeah...in the current climate, explain that one to a new person in your house. Or a girl for that matter. Even to a gun nut, 20 AR's is...excessive. I haven't even shot half of them. I just like building. Dunno...maybe it's the obsessive collecting and ADHD that's the red flag lol.

I have a short fuse for the guy who says "source" you provide it- then they proceed as they clearly didn't read it.

Obsession with serial killers/true crime.

I dont understand people that have just one hobby with their entire personality revolving around that one hobby

I tend to get a lot of people trying to get me to argue with them. I will rise to the bait but I’m trying really hard not to. People that want to fight animals or kill animals for sport or to get them off their land, those people deserve to have insane abuse done to them before being drug out into the street and shot or run over by an 18 wheeler. People that kill animals (besides cows and chickens because their meant for food)…yeah if that red flag was any bigger it would be a blanket the size of Saturn. I don’t see anything wrong with adopting a lot of kids and pets, but not when you can’t afford them or just want them for clout.

Taxidermy. 😂

It said license lol 1:48

Anyone filming a TikTok, Insta Vid...Just play a Disney song from your phone. Their vid will get downed by Disney lawyers. I have the Frozen song on mine. The minute I see an 'influencer' I'm BLASTING "Do you wanna build a snowman!?" full volume.

I literally got blocked on both my fb accounts from a fb group. The admin has had 2 profiles & was the sole 2 admins. It’s a McFarlane DC Multiverse group. Someone posted Spawn pics (a character Todd McFarlane literally created & also makes figures as) other ppl disagreed but I was banned 2x. Worst thing I was was a reply to another person saying “the admin is a nut but I don’t want to be banned”

Taxidermy. Do I even need to explain why?

Story 16: there are just some people who should never have any power because it goes to their head. There are people who take moderating subreddits or community groups as the most important thing they'll do in life and/or power trip because they can control who gets to be a part of the group. It's both pathetic and annoying.

I like motorcycles mostly riding on them but inevitably working on them will happen.

6:41 What does he mean by "stop buying herb"? How does he have have a 24/7 habit of it?

2:54 I like seeing animal fights like out in the wild ,but I don't like the sports like dog fighting

i have over 100 anime figures but none of them are lewd lol

Some people like collecting things from child hood because they dint have a child hood

Okay, fair. But honestly, what if you just like the food at Chuck-E-Cheese?

Talking about one subject also depends on the person. Some of us, like my wife and I, are neurodivergent and we tend to hyperfocus on whatever catches our attention. Thankfully the Hyperfocusing thing tends to run in two or three week cycles. lol.

Cloud chaser 😂

Worshipping a celebrity, or spending all day online on SM defending a problematic celebrity. Always a red flag of someone that isn't all quite there

1:34 this could be a fight for popularity, but the dude's main income could be KZfaq so idk if he's being a kid for prioritizing it, like if someone couldnt go to a wedding because they had to go to work to get promoted. Idk, i could be wrong, i mightve missed something.

I definitely find myself arguing on instagram 😭😭😭

I'll admit I'm a lot of things firearms, vehicle, outdoor/hiking/camping ect, and having a collection of old toys mainly thomas the tank engine both battery powered and the older wooden ones with the magnets on them but I try to have a mix of multiple things to have as a hobbies

Recently, a study done that showed a third of all humans. Look for something on a daily basis to be offended of ...

16:42 Not a figure, but a scroll poster of Pyra/Mythra. Best explanation I can give is the true one. Only reason I got it is because Xenoblade.

The last one hits hard while trying to buy toys made in my country before the whole made in china business ruined our economy and employment. Soy Argentino y extraño a mis autos Galgo.

Sorry being a Mod isn’t an issue.

Is story 19 about Kailia Posey? She was in a beauty pageant and there was a GIF of it but she committed suicide at 16.

Ug I knew a guy who was into anime porn. Okay if not an obsession. But he had items of these characters all over his house. His mouse pad, posters, desktop background. He’d have his mom over and not put anything away. If she warned him it was too much. All of these items were naked too. He’d also joke about things in the shows a lot. Definitely felt like way more than a hobby.

For me it’s smoking or vaping.

The irony of this video

RC cars the hobby kind. A good sign your man’s a narcissist before they start encroaching on neighbours property.

2 for 2

random joe rogan shots lol
