Depending on the hobby, this is some fucked up gatekeeping.

My first thought was riding a motorcycle as a hobby, and that is one activity that many people severely underestimate how much expensive gear you should be wearing for your safety before you even consider doing it.

Helmet, jeans, and a tank top. Psh, easy.

Steel toed crocs for the Harley guys

Helmet? What are you, some kind of weakling who has a brain to protect? Get a Harley, that's a motorcycle for us big overcompensators, and we don't do helmets, because there's nothing up there to protect!

The helmet's for passengers, duh.
