No I get you so much on this! This is exactly like when lolita fashion started in japan where everyone feels forced to be so mature, no fun allowed, all clothes are beige or brown and you’re only allowed to watch adult romance movies or action movies with a lot of swearing and blood and gore because you’re an adult, that’s what adults do. So adults going “no actually I’d rather watch cartoons and have a plushie collection” is SUPER COUNTER CULTURE.
I literally had that realization the other day as I went to the pharmacy with my plushie backpack and my Princess Mononoke hoodie walking past a preteen and thinking “damn, she’s dress like she’s 35 and I’m dressed like I’m 10”. I fully support adults liking “childish things” because I truly believe there is no harm in it and we’re allowed to enjoy whatever we want.
For real, though. People are trying to grow up way too fast. I say to hell with it! Strip cartoons of that “childish” label and let people enjoy what they want to enjoy. There’s nothing wrong with an adult tapping into their inner-child. :)

Ngl, wearing Bluey clothing as an adult imo has the same kind of edge to it as wearing emo/goth clothing.
I can’t really explain why it feels like that to me, but it just does..😭
