>>5971331>From anyone experience here, what could possibly go wrong if normies knew I collect toysNothing, I work in a supermarket for nearly 10 years, my co-workers and regular customers both know I'm a collector of transformers and hotwheels, infact some have seen me foraging around for them (even diving into the walls of pegs when a massive hotwheels sale is on).
Its so accepted I'm asked for customer assistance with them specifically because of my product knowledge.
I'm still a freakshow compared to my normie co-workers who just club drink and fuck but I receive no hate, and they don't dare backstab me either...if only because they're so busy yapping they give me the chance to eaves drop and then join in as if I was apart of the backstabbing to begin with, watching them jump is just as fun as finding super treasure hunts now.
As for your waifu statue collection its up to you, you can lie and just say statues, you're a collector of fine arts, and describe the sculpt, texture but not actually say WHAT statues they are (and even if they're action figures like figma and shit they might as well be statues).
Just be as autistic and overly articulate as possible without being direct, it'll confuse, maybe bore them, and they'll leave you alone, or you could be honest about it, just make sure you add some logic, it won't help if you say you just like cute things or you like little girls.
Either get creative with your autism or add some logic to it
