@anarchopunk_girl It's honest. It reveals something about your heart. Bully culture sees that as nothing but a vulnerability. The way chickens will turn on any member of the flock that has a speck of visible blood on them.
I keep thinking about that one scientist that collected and catologued something like 1 million specimens of a particular type of itty bitty wasp over his lifetime. Granted not great for the individual wasps, but the body of research was incredible-- we need people who are passionate about obscure niche interests. Anyone who loves a thing that much should be given funding and all the tools they need to work.
