I have argued this point in the past, as I'm sure many others, but it's nice to have a term for this concept: hobbyless behavior.

@stefan Hm... there may be some cultural barrier here, but I don't get it. I mean, I get the words and what they mean, but I can't understand the concept. Or how people being jerks relates to not having hobbies.

@jorgecandeias @stefan It’s something like “you wouldn’t be doing that if you had your own stuff going on”

@RevPancakes @stefan OK, so my lack of understanding isn't culturally based, but experience based.

See, I've been involved in fandoms for decades, and I know people deeply involved in football stuff, both things very hobby-centric.

And in both groups, there's jerks and jerk behaviours aplenty.

So yeah. Not a fan of the term here.

@jorgecandeias @stefan I’ve absolutely seen toxic stuff in fandom and hobbyist spaces but, at least in my experience, it’s usually a different type to what’s been called out here.

Fandom stuff tends to be over-invested and insistant rather than apathetic and belligerent.

@RevPancakes @stefan Hm... you've got a point there, although there's lots of over-invested and belligerent stuff too in those spaces.

@jorgecandeias @RevPancakes @stefan It's not to be taken too literally; it's just another way of saying "they should find something better to do".
