    Reminds me of how fucking weird some people get about it if an adult reads YA books

    Sometimes there's an explosion of "(well written cartoon that adults happen to also like) is FOR BABIES" brainworms here.

    For some, adults are not allowed to like things without sufficient violence and/or sexual violence or IT'S FOR BABIES. galaxy-brain

        If it's from glorious Nippon, it isn't for babies, though fandom and industrial pressures may mandate a fanservice emphasis of creeping on children. pathetic

        I suppose by the same logic Tolkien can be considered for babies because there's not enough sex, violence, and/or sexual violence against children compared to Gambo.

          Gotta love the edgelord need for hyber violent or hyper sexual shit.

          Meanwhile Don Heartfelt has been out here for 20 years doing compelling independent animation that's constantly pushing the form and storytelling. Still hasn't won a best animated short Oscar.

            yea

            Infinity Train was interesting and different and heartfelt enough that hateful edgelord and kiddie creeping sex predator Justin Roiland had to shit on it on an episode of his own edgelord cartoon. Because one was for babies and the other is for mature grown-ass adults. so-true

            Oh, right, not from Japan therefore Rick and Morty still for babies. galaxy-brain

              Over the Garden Wall is some of the best Halloween time storytelling. Amazing writing, amazing acting.

              But it's not edgy adult humor so no one appreciates it.

                Something something correlation does not equal causation but even so there sure are a lot of rich and powerful people in the entertainment industry that absolutely hate earnest and sincere all-ages content and see it as weak/childish but also really want to creep on kids. kombucha-disgust

              her very cool dnd games where she played with her dad his 40 year old doctor friends was very mature. fantasy series written by boring white men. also iron maiden and the like were the only real music smart people listened to, unlike my pop garbage. yeah...

                yea

                I feel that. A lot of my formative years were around assholes obsessed with normalcy and manhood and decades later they're bitter MAGA alcoholics and here I am doing weird stuff like having friends and found family I actually want to be around.
