Just saying because nearly every person I know who has ADHD and/or Autism (including myself) seems to care less about people knowing they’re into “childish” things.

Also the idea that this is a new phenomenon because Millenials and older gen Z are “soft” or stunted in some way.

I mean, boomers have model trains and and cars. So did their parents. My grandma used to knit herself plushies. This isn’t new. You don’t suddenly stop having your old likes because you reach a certain age.

    They’re just jealous because they lost the ability to see the world other than black and white. Their world is dull and colorless.

    Color, music, imagination leads to empathy. Empathy is the profit killer and discouraged.

    I’m getting into Ghibli films and anime and crying out of beautiy and slice of life stuff. I love getting immersed in art.

    Video games, ANIMATED! With colors, music, and atmospheres typical movies don’t touch because it isn’t bland enough for the majority of audiences for maximum profit squeezing.

    Don’t be bothered by the squares Owl. Enjoy the rainbow 🌈 😊

      If it has insufficient grimdark in it, it’s for BABIES! :wojak-nooo:

      Disclaimer: “Adult” stuff to me tends to involve kid-friendly fare that has stuff for adults to reflect on. The Last Unicorn is a shining example, or more recently, The Sea Beast and Puss In Boots: The Last Wish.
