    We watch billionaires be absolute idiots on a daily basis. We can live a little. We gain nothing by participating in fake competitions that make others rich, so why not burn the empire and have fun doing it.

    Is there really a rash of hate going around for people who… watch cartoons? I mean, maybe in the 90’s that might have been the case, right now I just see vast, vast swaths of people indulging in nostalgia.

    Professionals and CEO’s with action figures on their desks, “man-caves” decorated in people’s childhood memorabilia… it’s just normal. How desperate do you have to be to feel like an oppressed victim to both make and circulate bullshit like this.

    You like Pokémon?! Your such a child go or and get drunk like a mature adult.

    Maybe I’m boring, but at least I’m having fun each day.

      Going out as an adult doesn’t appeal to me anymore because it’s almost always centered around drinking, or places where people are drinking. It’s inescapable.

    Agreed.

      Looney Tunes were created for all ages.

      Legos are ages 3-99+

      Paint doesn’t have an age range.

      Anyone who thinks those things are restricted to children are misinformed.

      Finger painting sounds like incredible fun, but I still remember one of the first finger painting works I ever made as a child, which was alternating blotches of red and green that looked satisfying to me. The teacher said, “Oh, a Christmas plant!” which was a completely uninformed assessment because in reality it represented nothing but pretty colors. It was the first time I knew what it felt like to create something that was misunderstood by the viewer.

      What I’m saying is, I know how David Lynch often felt.

    It is because we are social, communial creatures. Others’ actions help define our culture and our culture is the social air we breathe. They don’t want the culture to value what you enjoy to the degree they perceive you enjoying it.

    Probably more wholesome than most of what’s on offer. It says something that a “childish” interest can last well into your adulthood or possibly a lifetime. And I think that’s a good thing!
