On the one hand, I think certain aspects of "people need to grow up" are influenced by capitalism's desire to crush the joy and wonder out of people and turn them into docile worker drones
On the other hand, I've never met a Disney adult who wasn't at best a shitlib and Disney itself is part of our modern dystopian media oligopoly
I'm not even touching on the people's likes, I mean specifically the sort of adult who shells out $1000+ for their "perfect" experience at Disneyland
It's perfectly okay to like Disney (I like Lilo and Stitch, and Gravity Falls is legitimately funny as fuck), but there's a sizeable portion of people who have Disney as an Identity to the point where they will freak the fuck out at the park they spent $400 for churros at because Snow White is on break and can't sign their sign book
They want their magic kingdom and they don't care who they have to trample over to get it
I used to have a season pass, idk I think it’s fun. Rides + nostalgia = serotonin. And Epcot has some pretty good food sometimes. I never understood people over the age of 9 who meet characters though. Why on earth would I want my picture taken when a sweaty college kid in a Mickey Mouse costume
I try not to think about the existence of Disney adults
Still remember the time I went on a tear about how weird it is for adults to be more excited for Disneyland than kids are
A guy sitting in front of me turned around and said "Hey, I go to Disneyland!"
I couldn't think of a snappy comeback so I just said "Shut up Disney Man"
Lol “Shut up Disney Man” is a snappy comeback, you done good.
Wow, praise from Dirtbag!

Yeah, I'd say those sorts of people are fair game.
that is a snappy comeback
I know someone that has season passes to disney world and goes at least once a month. Deranged.
