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.
I like to make fun of disney adults because the one’s I’ve known were really annoying libs, but I can see where you’re coming from. One thing I do really hate is when people rip on disney adults in the context of trying to pat themselves on the back for having “adult/ mature” tastes because they like some lurid dogshit “prestige TV” with terrible writing and unlikable shit-assed characters, but there’s lots of awkward violence and sex scenes so therefore it’s better.
