LOL, trolls
Dec. 6th, 2010 02:38 amAnd today, in Fandom Secrets, if you watch children's cartoons you have issues!!1!
I know it's a troll and all, but I'm sure there IS people out there who totally think less of us with childish fandoms. And I ask, who the fuck cares? Just because you're not the target audience it doesn't mean it's not enjoyable! I think everyone can have fun with a cartoon once in a while (or once a week, or once a day...) because there are many kinds of cartoons for all kinds of tastes. Plus, there are many crappy shows for teenagers and adults that are still quite popular, because for the fans it's fun to watch. Same with children's cartoons, good or bad. And not every show is mindless sitcom-esque crack; some can have quite the dark side while still targeted to kids.
And actually, the golden age of Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon actually began during my teen years. It's fun to have nostalgia of those shows and talk about it with folks who were actual children during their original run. It doesn't make that much of a difference, even. I miss the quality in those days. And kodomo anime is also fun! I also watched some Pokémon and Digimon in teen years. Mind you, I'm never regretting the purchase of a boxset with part of the first season of Nintama Rantarou (I WANT MOAR), and I was 27 so whatever. I also catch reruns of Keroro Gunsou (awesomeness) and Crayon Shin-chan (a bit overrated and memetic, though).
Having an active inner child is great. So feed him/her/hir.
P.S.: PLUS, I'VE SEEN IT'S KIND OF CHIC TO WEAR MERCH OF OLD NOSTALGIA CARTOONS. BUT ONLY IF IT'S WESTERN, IF IT'S ANIMU YOU'RE STILL A CHILDISH WEEABOO EWWWW. /pet peeve
P.S.2: RIGHT, I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD MORE OF SYM-BIONIC TITAN.
P.S.3: And I have to watch Toy Story 3 and Tangled and Megamind before December ends!
P.S.4: LAST TIME I READ F!S WHEN PMSing BECAUSE I GET INSPIRED :D
