I'm Losing My Mind But This Time It's Funny

it's completely fine to be an adult who likes children's media, i openly and proudly am one, but for the love of god im begging y'all to stop acting like any adults who Aren't interested in stuff made for children are shooting your dog when they say that. its embarrassing for you, it makes the rest of us look bad, and it sure as hell doesn't do anything to convince the greater population that there is any value in these works for people with, to put it gently, more mature taste and temperaments.
