    This is why I try not to tell my kid how I feel about his stuff; even if I think he’s being weird, someone else might end up loving them for them later on, and I would hate to rob that from them.

      Yeah exactly. What to do adult might just seem weird and part of an obsession (and likely is) can still be an idea what other kids would go crazy over and be worth a lot!

      Everyone interesting is weird in some way. I don’t have kids, but I’ve got nieces and nephews. I tell them all the time weird people are the interesting ones.

      I don’t know if it’s because of that or because Gen Z is pretty accepting of weird shit in general, but they’re all pretty comfortable being little weirdos.
