Am I playing the new Kirby DLC on my Switch? Yes. Do I recognize that it’s a game my friend’s 5 year old is also playing and does that make me feel a little odd? Also yes.

Kirby games (and most Nintendo first party games) specifically are designed to be "all ages" which is different than "for kids" (Harry Potter).

Games are a special case here. Great mechanics are great mechanics.

I continue to watch those new Star Wars cartoons, but with a steadily increasing amount of shame, as is healthy

I don't even think you have to attach a negative value judgment to liking it, just make some effort to be normal, i.e. neither going out of your way to hide it and feel ashamed, nor being too eager to broadcast it to people who you can reasonably assume aren't interested.

Getting a lot of anime avatar opposition to this, which I think proves my point

top comment on your screen shot is mentioning a fetish where you pretend to be a child

I think it's great when a stranger threatens me with non-consentual sexual violence for an opinion about maybe growing up a bit :)

"sentences to ten thousand years in little space" is up there with *inflates you, making you big and round* in terms of high octane cringe

People it is ok to like something and not be its target audience, just don’t LIE TO YOURSELF ABOUT IT

Middle comment seems to imply "things not made for children" can't be fun and I think it's a very telling attitude!!

Most aren't. the stuff "for adults" tends to fall either into "pretentious" Or "toilet humor". there's always exceptions, but you tend to find a wider variety of content as you go down the ratings scale. its not helped by "adults" who seem to exclusively target "fun" when labeling things "childish"

Please keep watching My Little Pony, interesting stories for adults would be wasted on you.

Counter point: if more people watched MLP and took its messages to heart the world wouldn't be the shithole that it is. Hate the fans all you want, at least they understand basic morality, they aren't the ones ruining this country and many others.

It's the corollary to "it's okay to like trash movies, just don't try to defend it as serious media"

I also think it's telling that they straight-forwardly equate "kids' stuff = fun." There's lots of stuff aimed at adults that's fun! (I just rewatched Grosse Pointe Blank last night, which fits the bill.) This isn't about forcing miserabilism on ppl, just expanding your horizons.
