And even if it's not your childhood, it bothers me when people tease others for being passionate about something. Sports fans dress up in jerseys, hats and face paint, people dress up in cultural garb for celebrations and special events, for Halloween (and I remember Fasching in Germany, too), for Renaissance festivals, etc. I never really understood why people (especially grown adults) felt the need to make fun of people who dress up for anything. It's fun for those people, even if you don't think so! I even kinda get why kids do it to each other, because kids can just be cruel or they're buckling under peer pressure. But, it kills me when adults make fun. At some point, it's important to evolve.
