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.
Yeah, I have to agree. I hate when people act like a company is some special pioneer or hero. Almost like a religion. It's probably just because I've seen the term "Disney Adult" thrown around as a catch-all for anyone that enjoys animation that I became defensive.
As far as animation as a whole is concerned I actually don't like Disney, funnily enough (Except maybe Owl House and Gravity Falls?). I have a hard time separating it from the horrible man that it's named after. Especially after learning that the fucker exploited his friend's labor.
And, like, I'm pretty sure he was a Nazi.
