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

"sentenced to ten thousand years in little space" shut the fuck up

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

online tummyaches are no joke

I play with my LEGOs like an -adult- (put the minfigs in sex positions)

and not a single one understands the irony of their replies, which is hilarious

"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

“chucklenuts”

if this person is from tumblr they used to think all or most existing insults were bigoted so they made up new ones

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.

What on earth

Lmao what

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

they do that too

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.
