    At what point does watching cartoons become unacceptable by age, if ever?

    I don't watch animation myself, but I was thinking about it:

    Video games could be lumped into this as well, but you could relent on that argument when you consider how popular they and varied they are.

    But what about cartoons or anime? When, if any, age limit is there eventually? The age where it's just not normal to be engaging with this hobby? Like I know people will claim anyone can enjoy Disney, which is true. But that's selective and not speaking for the mediums in general. Like if someone was 40+ and enjoying Spongebob or MLP, would you consider that normal?

    Who cares. If you like it watch it. The only people concerned with being too old for such a thing are too immature to discuss the subject.

    Completely normal. Watch what you want. Being afraid to watch stuff because you are "too old" is a sign of immaturity.

    It is kind of freaky to want to watch men groping one another on TV rather than watching a cartoon.
    When in doubt. Derp it out.

    Who is it that is either accepting or not accepting these actions? Why do they matter?

    it's a matter of fitting into human society. That's why it matters. You can't live as an anti-social NEET forever.

    well that's fucking Star Wars. Shit is for everyone regardless of format. Last I saw the SW cartoons are also notoriously violent.

    If you let someone shame you out of watching cartoons, if that's what you want to do, then you aren't an adult.

    Youre adult, what what you want.

    Nailed it in the first response. I came here to say this also.

    You do you OP, who cares what society thinks? It's your life after all.

    Never? It's like asking at what age it becomes unacceptable to look at charcoal drawings. It's an art medium, not Santa.

    This goes hand in hand with “do you play Nintendo games as an adult, even though they are for kids?”

    So, "moronic questions being principally asked by Boomers"?

    Y'all out here watching crap like Batman vs Superman and have the audacity to talk down about people that enjoy other art forms, lol.

    What has watching cartoons/anime got to do with being social? The two are not mutually exclusive.

    You've got tons of posts in threads about anime where you gush just fine.

    Not sure why you keep coming back, but it's clear there must be some sort of repression going on here. And yes, Anime = cartoons. Don't get me wrong, I don't judge, but you keep making threads under the guise that you don't partake. Which you do.

    Short answer: It never becomes unacceptable. Look at Pixar.

    I cant imagine a more sadder life than thinking/worrying about what others deem acceptable or not. We have laws for that so you dont need to think on it too hard son.

    You could die tomorrow, no one gives a shit if you watched 30minutes of Deathnote
    Comes a time when we all gotta die...even kings.
