once I met a guy who when I told him I wanted to go into animation he said "I thought kids made animation?" when I said it it was actually adults that produced kids' shows he said that seemed "creepy and weird" & i can't believe I see the exact same sentiment from ppl on twitter

Huh! Do read the entire thread.

That explains a few things, or at least correlates with the fact that I’ve seen John Green, Joss Whedon and even Suzanne Collins called “creepy” for writing about teenagers. For some reason, I didn’t connect it to identitarian concerns. I thought it was the usual liberal “protection from harm” BS, but I was wrong.

It’s really about the fact that Green, Whedon and Collins aren’t themselves teenagers. It’s just identity wankery all the way down these days.

Are there really adults who think that kids write kids’ shows and media with kids in them? Really? What the ever-lovin’ FUCK?
