Not trying to come at you specifically, but I’ve seen this type of sentiment around a lot lately and it stinks of right-wing “Everything should be constant pain.” BS.
Im closer to the anti end of adults being into kids shows, especially ones they didn’t grow up with but it’s less of an ‘everyone should be in constant pain’ and more that your primary media consumption shouldn’t be stuff aimed at 8-12 year olds. Grown ups should still engage with stuff that’s at least a bit more sophisticated
I thought Bluey was for like 5 year olds, and a shit ton of “adult-oriented” shows (probably the majority, but I don’t have an unbiased sampling) are literally not any more sophisticated than YA garbage.
But is there some “adult bluey fan” phenomenon or something? Disney is a huge international media conglomerate with theme parks and everything that’s everywhere you look. I’ve literally never thought more than 2 seconds about Bluey in my life
I’ve seen a few adults say they feel a lot of affection for the show. most recently, Angela Collier made a video ranking her favorite baby cartoons. the “Adult X Fan” is a riff I just picked up from Tony Zaret sketches tbh.
I think liking Bluey outside of the context of taking care of a kid is a red flag and can’t imagine why someone would like it outside of that context, but this is ridiculously masturbatory and presumptuous.
Close relative of the Disney Adult, afraid to leave the confines of its habitat and prefers a comforting life without challenges or resilience

another effect of the cultural regression happening in the USA right now ,it feels like we’re legit back in early 2000’s forums
go check them ,they’re exactly like this
the 2020’s is a very shitty remake of the 2000’s mixed with the 2010’s
thanks for saying this tbh

Isn’t Bluey more like 2-8 year olds? (not sure if the distinction matters.)
