Curious how people would react when they realize that they’re exhibiting Brony behaviour when they do this 🤣. It’s fine to love material outside of your demo but this rhetoric is hilarious. You don’t need to convince me that the source material is “adult” when you’re writing a Bluey fanfic
The more I see these kinds of memes the more I think about how people don't take children seriously and think they can't handle anything other than super innocent media with no deeper meaning.
Clone Wars in particular it crosses the line from “haha isn’t it crazy this is here” to kinda frustrating because the show will gesture broadly in the direction of the Jedi Council arming & training the space mujahideen or something and then never explore the implications of that.
Children want to be treated like adults. That's why kids media often has more mature elements. If you are an adult you don't need people to tell you that the kids media you enjoy is actually for adults. You are an adult! It came for free with your becoming an adult!
A lot of people just don't have respect for kids or media intended to engage and excite them. They don't recognize that kids can handle stories that sometimes deal with SLIGHTLY more mature subject matters and in fact serve as a great way to introduce them to such things.
Yeah like that’s the thing, as a kid I gravitated towards stuff like Invader Zim and Clone Wars and Teen Titans BECAUSE they felt like they took my seriously and introduced a lot of fun and interesting concepts to me. Kids like mature, dark stuff, and it’s cool when kid media can strike that balance
Same here, I enjoyed shows like Hey Arnold because they didn't talk down to kids and treated them with respect. Contrast that with vapid garbage like Teen Titans Go that treats kids like drooling idiots with zero attention by putting in obnoxious voices and sounds and terrible lazy jokes.
