What is with grown ass men and women liking Childish shit? Pokémon, my little pony, Harry Potter, and coloring books are for kids, not adults


Why are so many adults acting like kids? Is it because of (((them)))

So the jews have an excuse to take care of them

all of that shit is gay but pokemon. pokemon is not liberal trash. sure its for kids mainly but at least its not SJW brainwashing. it has its place for fun/adventure

You can blame Sup Forums for getting horsefuckery going. Now they're everywhere even in the goddamn alphabet soup agencies.

>(((them)))

why are you using Twitter slang here? It's ok to just call them jews.

>Pokémon
One of the last bastions of mainstream gaming that enforces only 2 gender choices.

Off yourself scum.

>not taking the anime redpill

Because deep down inside they're all manchildren or woman-children; they want everything in life to be a clear cut black and white, and their world view reflect this.

Most of us are realist at the core, and we understand the world not as black and white but as shades of grey. Nothing in this world is the way it is without good reasons, the moral ambiguity of life reflects this.

These idiots simply never mentally matured past the "good guy/bad guy" dichotomy.

I got into Pratchett instead during the height of the potter craze.

I only ever read one of the books because it was given to me and I found Rowling's writing rather dull.

N-NOSTALGIA!!!

anime is for japanese schoolchildren, you fucking pedo

I like Pokemon too, but you have to at least admit that Game Freak are obnoxiously lazy devs that haven't progressed at all and are killing the franchise. Their outright jewery should not be tolerated.

Combination of escapism and consumerism.

because the lack of religion

product of decades of brainwashing.
the end result are highly emotional and irrational retards.
check out most ads.
they have kids music playing in the background.

The full blown obsession is definitely weird. I can understand taking up a run through of Pokémon or reading through Harry Potter over a week or so for nostalgias sake but constantly clinging to it is so strange.

...

This and a lack of responsibilities. People have forgotten how to grow up.

>coloring books
For adults? Is that a thing?

The only people who are still barneyfags are the real hardcore autists now.

Give me more gold nuggets goyim

Economics

When our generation is at a time when the affordability of entertainment is at its highest, while the feasibility of financial independence is at its lowest - you do the maths

Yes, my mom has a few. They're generally filled with a bunch of mandalas and fluid designs and are usually for stress relief and relaxation.

Meh, you like what you like. People have preferences.

The real autism is people who are wearing the fact that they like kid shit like a badge of fucking honor, rather than just keeping it to themselves. We get it, you're a grown-ass man who likes Harry Potter.

There's nothing inherently wrong about enjoying media, but making the media you consume your identity is fucking retarded and you deserve to be gassed if you do this. Also, as an adult, you can enjoy media with a more critical eye than you could as a child.

No fathers --> Loss of sense of duty --> no Coming of Age --> Glamorization of childhood fancies

What's the point of growing up if there is no reason to? Fathers teach boys a sense of duty, society is doing all that it can to remove that from boys, by turning them into girls, teaching them that fighting back (zero tolerance policies) is wrong, that winning in sports is wrong (participation trophies), and most importantly, removing fathers from the home and replacing them with the state.

What's the point in 'winning' when the reward for losing is the same?

What is with anons (OP) not understand how autistic Sup Forums is and how people like different forms of entertainment?

Peter Pan syndrome.

She should try clay sculpting instead. It's one of the most relaxing things you can do.

...

you fuck kids

LEAVE PONYS OUT OF THIS

...

>you fuck kids
Your showing yourself, reddit

Not this shit again
Leave, Jersey poster

She'd probably find it too messy. She knits too for stress relief so it's not completely unproductive.

everyone wants to be part of le ebin nerd culture, but all they like is entry-level mass-media kids shit because they all they know is consumer culture

>t. mtg pro

People are getting progressively more and more comfortable and never want to venture outside of that comfort for challenging media or artistic achievement. They would rather "turn their brain off" for two hours, watching mindless pablum than open themselves up to something that might challenge their preconceptions of the world or make them feel uncomfortable for even a fraction of a second.

The current trend of superhero movies perfectly exemplifies this point. People don't want to be forced to take a position on a piece of media so they want the morality forcefed to them by caped heroes who fight a (universally white) antagonist villain with a gigantic blue laser beam. This plays right into the studio's hands since they can now build "cinematic universes" where the same fucking story is told 10 times with minor changes and each movie sells 100 million tickets

Inarritu summed it up pretty well:

>I sometimes enjoy them because they are basic and simple and go well with popcorn. The problem is that sometimes they purport to be profound, based on some Greek mythological kind of thing. And they are honestly very right wing. I always see them as killing people because they do not believe in what you believe, or they are not being who you want them to be. I hate that, and don’t respond to those characters. They have been poison, this cultural genocide, because the audience is so overexposed to plot and explosions and shit that doesn’t mean nothing about the experience of being human.

>Pokemon
>not liberal gay childish trash
>playing this recycled franchise in 2017

Okay then.

>>t. mtg pro
That's a pretty mainstream tag you play even with how complex it is the company is still sjw cucked

What's is with grown ass men and women liking childish shit?
>Sup Forums

>Inarritu

Wow so deep. And when will he make a film about "the experience of being human" that isn't complete shit?

it's the biggest book most adults can read -> they think it makes them sound smart to quote
and to their similarly retarded social circle, it does

OP is a fucking fag

...

Hmmmm... moist.... uh uhu huh tender.. touching!

And what "adult" things should I do in my free time instead?

>men
Most of them can't get laid or find suitable mates, so spend their time doing childish shit since they have little incentive to be productive

>women
Muh female empowermynt

Because being a grown up sucks.

ye i'm sure japanese parents are letting their kids watch hellsing, gantz or ichi the killer

Devote your entire life to your job and only take enjoyment from sampling wine while reading Shakespeare and listening to Beethoven. All for the true patrician feel.

That was the greatest sustained trolling operation I ever saw. The patience and sheer will of that applied autism was unstoppable.

Well, simply put, it's entertaining.

Pseudo-intellectual pretentious bullshit.

>said the dicklet cuck who supports pewdiepie

MLP is actually somewhat redpilled, its just most the fanbase isnt
>The ponies are overwhelmingly "white" I mean this as the majority have blue/green eyes and dress is American/European style. All main voicr actresses are white. Foreign dressing ponies are dress vaguely in the style of the country whos accent their imitate and have brown eyes. These are not main characters.
>Architecture is all American/European
>A history of the different pony races episode shows them to be medieval European and not get along until their "nations" came together
> Single Zebra in the show is ostracized in the woods, the town doesnt trust her.
>Valentines episode includes every couple as the same type of pony
>I cant think of an exeption to this even with the married couples
>NO official pony/nonpony couples
>Snowflake pony in episode is lazy piece of shit

i don't understand the appeal of MLP. it makes no sense to me at all.

it was weird when i heard MLP fans were actually serious

just because people get older, doesn't mean they become adults. this is weird to experience especially as you age into your mid 40's. having kids doesn't make you an adult either.

>grown ass men and women
this is a non nigger board leave now you fucking monkey

I can't really complain since I still play videogames, but yeah this Harry Potter worship has gotten excessive

Last two I can think of off the top of my head
>side character wears a German Pickelhaube in one scene
>Main villian of season 5 is a communist and has established a communist village that she seeks to expand. Fights against this villian include arguments by the main characters for "not having everyone be equal"

>Harry Potter

I was forced to read the first book in 8th grade, but I refused to read it before that. I remember thinking it was boring and generic back when I was 12. I already read LOTR and thought it was superior, and then I started reading DnD books and found them much more interesting. I also played video games like Lunar that had a magic school and wizards, only the store was a lot more original and interesting and it was animu based. At age 12, I would rather watch DBZ more than anything. Today, I still find DBZ more interesting than Harry Potter... and I'm a pretty big fantasy fan.

Seriously, the first book is written tongue-in-cheek, it was designed more as a parody of fantasy if anything.

Normally, I wouldn't trash Harry Potter but Rowling has let her fame go to her head. She's not Tolkein or Howard. She didn't pioneer or define a genre. She just popularized an already existing genre and added nothing to it. Even Martin or Jordan are worlds beyond her and she will never be at their level, let alone an absolute legend like Tolkein or Howard.

this

Who gives a shit what other people like as long as they keep it to themselves?

It's like you cunts just hate freedom.

Yeah I feel you OP.

I hate it when people like things that I don't like.

Good thing we have out hugbox here on Sup Forums together yeah?

lots of folks don't want kids or traditional families, so there is no need to actually grow up.

Everything your parents had to do that beat tradition into them our generation gets to skip out on through monthly services.

Potentially it reminds them over better times because shit nowadays sucks massive balls especially under Obama

Liking things is fine. The idea of "guilty pleasures" definitely isn't somehow new either. The issue is when you have people who like these things for children and then want to turn them into a large portion of their adult life.

>She just popularized an already existing genre and added nothing to it.

Just to add to this point, she's not even a gateway. It seems most people who love HP will not venture deeper into the fantasy realm, except maybe LOTR or Martin. But even Martin can be "triggering" for these faggots and LOTR is ultimately right-wing and is often despised for it. If they ventured too far into fantasy they'll eventually hit Howard, with his very, VERY politically incorrect character of Conan who would be called a Nazi if he was alive in today's world.

Harry Potter is safe and relatively easy to make analogies to because it's simplistic. There's good and evil and that's all there is to it. Notice how it's universally always HP and nothing more complex? LOTR wouldn't fit. GoT wouldn't fit. You can't even really fit Trump into Star Wars easily because then who the fuck is Darth Vader?

>it has violence and nudity so it's mature, really guys!

faggot

Bunch of spoonfed children who can't get enough kool-aid
Thanks to Super Male Vitality I'm not a little bitch ass pussy like them

Pokemon is sort of fun i am playing crystal on my phone emulator now. I was too old for the game boy advanced so i am rediscovering them now in almost middle age.

Let me answer that question for you, OP

Pic related

Fuck dude

Is there anything the ancient Greeks weren't right about?

Growing up is overrated. But I did anyway. Don't really enjoy any video gaming anymore unless it's with my buddy from highschool and we're drunk. I like kiddo movies though. I watch all my favorites with my son.

I don't continuously re-read Harry Potter, but I remember liking it when I was a kid, so it has nostalgic value. For that reason I like it.

J. K. Rowling's obnoxious hypocritical elitist snobbery on Twitter has almost ruined it for me, though.

I like pokemon but its just dumb fun meant to waste free time
I don't try to equate real life circumstances to it like retarded libs seem incapable of not doing.

I first saw it with GenX. A lot of my fellow GenXer men are overgrown boys. It's not fair to decent women who want to be mothers and raise healthy, happy families, because their boyfriends (these men almost never want to get married) act like kids themselves, and not in a good way. They don't want to settle down, they don't want to accept responsibility, they complain and whine about having to work....the (((media))) is definitely partly to blame but overall society is deteriorating.

People are stunted, they don't grow up. Dysfunctional families are at the root, shitty permissive boomer parenting and their high divorce rate. Instead of giving emotional nurturing and stability, boomers stuck their kids in front of the TV with sugary snacks, so they could watch millions of ads. And when the kids were still fussy or needy, boomer parents just went along with the ads and bought their kids shit, reinforcing the addictive pattern of inappropriate attachment.

The whole collector mentality plays to those for whom stuff was the parent, because the real parents were absent doing self-indulgent Boomer shit. These kids became adults whose primary emotional attachment comes from stuff, not relationships with human beings.

Men have it worse because fewer of them are dominated by the reproductive urge in its fullest form--not just wanting to fuck, but wanting to settle down and enjoy the happiness a family brings you. They never knew it, so they don't want it. They want to be kids forever and play with their toys, obsess about their fantasy worlds like Harry Pothead. Women have stronger urges for family and stability so I've had to watch so many girls I grew up with suffer frustration after frustration with inadequate, dependent boyfriends who don't want to commit, don't want responsibilities, etc.

I was recently invited to Google's campus in Mountain View. All their offices are an open space with colorful bean bags and pillows everywhere. It's like a daycare. They have regular mandatory meetings to discuss tolerance, feelie weelies, and SJW crap. Absolutely fucking pathetic to behold.

I'm sure they'll fair well once the USA is desolated by the looming race war

This
I liked watching Futurama as a kid and I recently rewatched it.
Was pretty amazing still.
Its fun to enjoy things you did as a child. And some of the lessons and themes still can apply to a adults life.

And then the problem continues with GenX parents who, fucked up themselves, didn't do any better with Millennial kids. I should add that women suffer from the consequences of (((their))) attacks on the family, Western values in many ways (which I won't rant on about because there are plenty of threads about those issues here) but the infantile shit is definitely more focused on men. If only because the (((media)) and (((advertisers))) still feel that men run society--whether or not that's what they publicly admit, kek. One of their huge victories has been making those who tend to have more money (men) into as thoroughly compulsive shoppers as many women. On some levels it's all about subversion and destruction, but we must remember that it's always about the shekels too.

So much ^this^

maybe they should stop dating niggers then?

What the fuck is wrong with the American covers?

Nah, it's for manchildren with too much money.

Hence why it airs at 2 am and a single DVD with 2 episodes on it costs £40 or more.

I play Pokemon because its basically an animal fighting simulator with a magical element to it

This. Nicely spoken

They fuck nothing but their hand, man, chill

WE WUZ LEGENDARIES

It depends on what you call childish. Would you be afraid to watch anything but court proceedings as entertainment to appear "mature"? That's cuckoldry.

I agree with this.

Harry Potter is actually decently written. It even has a higher Lexile score than GoT.

...

1 Corinthians 13:

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Court proceeding are sometimes the best entertainment though.

what about comic books, and baseball cards from your grand dad's generation? what about old guys who wittle little toys and play with trains. guys always have shit from their childhood because being a boy is one of the few things about being male that doesn't suck.

Entertainment has easy access and there's really no point in ultra maturity considering there's ALWAYS opportunities no matter how low you are, you just gotta take them

Yes they are, finnbro

...

Because the only form of identity white people are allowed to have is what personal preference for tv show, movie or consumer product you enjoy.

Everything else is haram. So natutally people want identity so make their entire identity about harry potter or star wars. Its not too different from white people only being able to enjoy sports but at least that has tribal conflict

...
