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'm conflicted

Yeah, I'd say those sorts of people are fair game.
