Oh gosh, a bit of a mixed bag I guess.
Predominantly, I'd be WAY less anxious and stressed about my interest, and maybe I'd be able to run for local office without this sword of damocles hanging over my head all the time!
But, to a much lesser extent, the fact that it was forbidden and definitely "something I shouldn't be looking at" was part of the appeal at first and made it have a much stronger impression on me. I like to think that it being more socially accepted would result in me still being interested and happy, but you know what they say about the Butterfly Effect.
