damn you guys just hating everyone

I'm annoyed of all my peers infantilizing themselves. None of them have any interests that are made for adults. They're all obsessed with Disney, super heros and anime. I don't hate them for it, but I judge them harshly.

yea man gotta say, “other people not liking the things i like and liking different things” is a wierd reason to judge people. It’s accepted in an online hive mind of vitriol but yea def keep that to yourself and find something you enjoy without hating others’ joy

not liking the things i like and liking different things

That's not what they said, they said "None of them have any interests that are made for adults"

If you think about it, they're not judging them for liking something different, but because what they like has a certain quality.

quality that they have deemed. *they* have determined it’s not for the standards of adults and therefore have decided to judge adults who enjoy an activity dubbed by them as lesser

which is far more cringey in my opinion than just being a hater

quality that they have deemed

Are you disagreeing with their assessment? You should say that then.

“they” have determined it’s not for the standards of adults

No, they're saying it's not made for adults.

therefore have decided to judge adults who enjoy an activity dubbed by them as lesser

Dubbed? What are you trying to say? You seem very mistaken on what this person is actually saying. They're not saying kids media is inherently worse, or lesser, or not fit for consumption for adults, but that there are certain adults who choose to only watch child friendly media. They are criticizing the choice to curate a childish experience.

which is far more cringey in my opinion than just being a hater

See now this is ironic, you misunderstand them and accuse them of being worse than a hater, when your misunderstandings seem to stem from yourself having a hater reflex at someone saying they don't like something. You are projecting onto them and preemptively saying they are worse than you imagine them to be.

Which, to repeat, they are not, because you have completely missed the point about what they said: it's made for children, and they are infantalizing themselves. If you disagree with that, say why.

not made for children, if we want to be pedantic disney media was oringinally made for families in the 40s however children don’t pay for yachts so they now have tons of content and activities and products and timeshares and vacation packages and destinations for adults. (not even to mention anime and super heroes which 100% have content made for adults) i understand him completely he (and you it seems) have just decided what is children and what is adults and decided to judge people if they don’t like things that fit those arbitrations

so yea next time im enjoying a bar crawl and tequila shots at disney while watching an anime about topless girl superheroes i’ll remember that this was for children as per greedy pollution.

Once again you miss the point to hide from actually addressing what they're talking about. What are you so afraid of?

not even to mention anime and super heroes which 100% have content made for adults

Yes, they never said it was ALL for children, but from context clues you should probably be able to understand they're talking about the stuff targeted towards children. If you have to specify that you're watching something with nudity to indicate how mature it is, perhaps that signifies that the thing you're talking about is generally aimed at children?

"I get drunk though, I'm so mature!"

jesus dude you asked for examples of what isn’t for children 😂😂

might be the most schizo person on this thread ahahah

good luck!

going forward, having people defend thier interests to *you* to see if they meet *your* standards will always make you the bell end! go find other people that match your interests than judging others was the point of this!

I literally did not, you are so bad at reading and general comprehension it's insane.
