Hello! If it is only used for self-entertainment and not for commercial use, and infringes on the interests of the brand, it generally does not constitute infringement.
Generally speaking, the components of trademark infringement are as follows:
First, there must be illegal behavior. That is to say, the perpetrator objectively uses the registered trademark without obtaining the permission of the trademark owner or other legal basis, and his behavior is illegal. The perpetrator did not obtain the authorization or permission from the trademark registrant when he first used the trademark, but later obtained his permission or ratification, or the trademark registrant ignored it and expressed acquiescence after learning of the situation. This kind of behavior does not exist Illegal.
Second, there must be harm. Trademark right is an intangible intellectual property, and the damage caused to it may be tangible material damage, intangible economic loss, or both. Specifically, it can be manifested as a decrease in sales of the trademark owner's products, a decrease in profits, an increase in production costs due to stopping infringement, a decrease in trademark credibility, consumer complaints, etc.

Even if registration has been approved, a trademark that is identical or similar to someone else’s registered trademark is still used on the same or similar goods.
