(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.
As @LGOrcStreetSamurai@hexbear.net 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.
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
… so by your own logic, you watch Dragon Tales?
Oh! Oh! Is Futurama also FOR BABIES™ because it’s a cartoon?
Please stop namedropping cartoons you watch.
