I've heard left handed people consistently being portrayed as being "Creative" and "Artistic" and I tried to be left handed/ambidextrous when I was a child because would be cool or unique. While left handedness doesn't have quite this reputation, being ambidextrous is associated with genius, you hear stories like how James A. Garfield could write Latin in one hand and Greek in the other. I could never use my left hand like this successfully though so I gave this up. I also intentionally tried to use leftie stances in sports and I was mindfully doing it just to be different because I thought that was cool when I was like, 7 years old. This stuck a lot more, probably because I learned how to do things with a leftie stance from the get-go. I think you underestimate how much stupid crap kids will try to imitate if they think it's vaguely cool and how much this can stick in a very real way. If I tried to do some sports as a "righty" I would fall on my ass. I was never actually much for social status either and kids actually gave me shit for not using a right handed stance.
