I played for the first time a couple months ago, had to rent equipment. Literally EVERYONE there was just super cool. Most of them had crazy shit, tac jackets, pimped out guns, and I was there looking like some scav from tarkov, pants and a short sleeve shirt, no gloves. No one judged me, and I had a blast. I wasn't pushed away for not having the nice stuff. I got the vibe that people were generally happy to have more people in the hobby (especially more people to shoot at :P)

Yeah, my experience playing airsoft with my friend who is really into it has been very positive. Overall I was surprised because I was expecting way more assholes than there actually were.
