Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
(I didn't, largely since I've never watched a single episode, but the psychic damage and whiplash of Wholesome Pony Show having said this line was too fuckn much for me)
EDIT: More replies than upbears now. It’s probably an official struggle session now (although most of it is that one person). One must imagine SisyFEWs happy.
It's also written for 5-year-olds though.
Mario and Pokemon are for children too and nobody gives a shit if you like them as an adult
Mario is the tale of a union man taking mushrooms and rescuing his side piece from a human trafficking dinosaur. Pokemon is about a kid winning a series of cockfights and taking down the mafia. For kids? Hardly.
Tell me how good Dragon Tales is next.
You clearly don't actually know anything about the show and you're just going off of either your own assumptions or what other people have told you. I'd explain why you're wrong, but I've dealt with enough people like you to know you'd just double down. You don't have any good reason for believing what you believe. You just want an excuse to feel superior to other people.
There's the misogyny! Thank you for helping prove the point of my original comment
As @[email protected] already put it in this thread, the response to that show in retrospect does say a lot about the people making that response.
There's plenty of room to criticize its ideology and its political messages, but "X IS FOR BABIES" dogma is just... exhausting. And feeds into so much bullying-adjacent reactionary hog shit.
You know, my trans roommate likes MLP. She used to live with her abusive family who tried to force her to detransition. Among many other ways they abused her was ridiculing her for liking MLP and forcing her to hide her interest in it, and their attitude towards her interest in the show is a lot like what I'm seeing from you right now.
I work in a public school where I had seen "mature" kids bully other kids for having MLP flair on their backpacks. Or having the wrong color backpacks. Or for seeming too sensitive. Such "mature" kids tended to go to detention a lot and made teaching a lot harder than it had to be because that "maturity" seemed to compel them to bully people.
The shows have changed over time, but the "X IS FOR BABIES"
wriggle through, year after year.
Holy shit the person we were arguing with went into the megathread to passive-aggressively call us out
It's a good thing we have people like that around to show all the babies what a shining example of maturity looks like
I just noticed that very mature user has an anime avatar.
Memes about the cointoss chance of chuddery from the anime avatar haver aside, it's pretty rich that ALL CARTOONS ARE FOR BABIES yet apparently anime cartoons are for Mature AdultPeople.
Maturity intensifies
Your mask has fallen completely off at this point. Are you going to foam at the mouth about Owl House next?
My nieces and nephews watch owl house, it seems like a cool cartoon
It's one of those "for children, but not hostile toward adults that are also present" shows.
But apparently it's also rage bait for very mature posters here.
Please stop namedropping cartoons you watch.
WATCHING CARTOONS IS AGAINST HOLY SACRED ADULTHOOD THIS REACTION TO THE VERY IDEA OF WATCHING CARTOONS IS VERY MATURE
... so by your own logic, you watch Dragon Tales?
Oh! Oh! Is Futurama also FOR BABIES(tm) because it's a cartoon?
Actually, please list out every cartoon you've watched and also plan to watch.
you have an anime pfp
Anime doesn't count because the very mature bullying poster consumes it.
Maybe there's enough
in their own treats to earn Official Seals Of Maturity. 
irony poisoning, not even once
I hate that I understand and fully agree with this comments point. I spend too much time on the internet for my own good
WATCHING CARTOONS IS AGAINST HOLY SACRED ADULTHOOD THIS REACTION TO THE VERY IDEA OF WATCHING CARTOONS IS VERY MATURE

Jeez, someone needs a reeducation in the magic of friendship and harmony...
In one line you managed to present an adolescent-like preoccupation with performative adulthood in a bullying way and added some misogyny!
No, I spelt it the non-sexist way. Histerical. Treatlords, begone.
The way you're presenting your "X IS FOR BABIES" dogma could be plucked right out of a grade school cafeteria from about ten years ago.
It really does seem immature to be that mad about people enjoying something that has insufficient "mature" blood, gore, or sexual violence for your tastes.
EDIT:
Oh, you just posted this too:
THAT KID'S LUNCHBOX HAS TOO MANY STICKERS IT IS TIME TO BULLY THEM IN A VERY MATURE WAY
I take it this was written by a "baby," too?
I do work in a public school; I sort of see bullies like you on a regular basis there, often harassing kids that did nothing except have the wrong color backpack, and such "mature" people like you tend to get detention.
This is a great comment. Keep giving the weirdo losers detention, hopefully they'll get better
Honestly, unless you're talking about MLP as it existed before or after the 2010s, I just don't see how you can conclude that so confidently. Friendship is Magic was better written than half of the shows that adults are supposed to like.
I didnt watch all seasons of it but the first 3 seasons are a pretty fun kind hearted show. Gonna finish it one of these days.
"X IS FOR BABIES" dogma. Not even once.
It was originally written by the same person who wrote Powerpuff Girls and a lot of the humor is similar in the sense that it appeals to both kids and older viewers.
This just in: Lauren Faust being Craig McCracken's wife was a conspiracy all along; she is actually his drag persona
I thought she was a writer for that as well though?
I had tried to edit with a clarification that she wrote for both series but that McCracken was the actual creator of Powerpuff Girls, but maybe that didn't load on your end.
Ah, ok. In that case I should clarify that while she wasn't officially the show creator, I do think a lot of the writing and jokes are similar between the two.
From what I've seen, you're absolutely right about that.
