There are also grown men[and women] who devote themselves to the recreation of actual railroads in miniature and go out in public with their overalls and engineer caps!
And grown women[and men] who find it fun to style Barbie's hair and create cool new outfits!They go out in public to meet is mass groups wearing I [heart] Barbie shirts!
GASP!
Different, yes, 'terrifying'? No. Not unless you're easily frightened.
On the flip side, people who see the strange [or to them ridiculous] things other people do shouldn't feel they have to refrain from laughing. If I saw a grown man parading down the street with a sparkly unicorn horn stuck to his head, I wouldn't be able to help myself. :-)

No one said it should be illegal. But a grown man being into a toy line made for little girls is a freak and shouldn’t be surprised to be looked at as one.
A big difference from being into model railroading, which some people even think is goofy too, but is far more respected.
Guilty as charged. I popped over to the Office Depot one day last winter wearing full 1964 Army missleman kit, all OG-107ed, starched, blocked and spit shined (in my weak pathetic defense I was trying to break in the boots). As I was leaving, a bonafide Army Major in dumpy ACUs walked into the store. As a lowly Spec5 I snapped to full attention and saluted with a smart heel click. The guy looked like he'd seen a ghost! He returned the salute in slow motion...never did tell me to "carry on". LOL.
Or for that matter, grown men and women who devote their time to being elves and fighting dragons using dice and plastic wargame minis. (GUILTY)
