in short, you never stop being a kid if you so choose...you just get to be a kid and adult at the same time.
which supports bronyism. |

I'd go so far as to say this should be featured, if not quoted at the top of the site. |

I will never be ashamed of still liking things I did/watched/played when I was a child.
Since when becoming an adult meant getting rid of all that made me become an adult? |

No offense, but I think we're missing the point of the quote. Lewis was saying that there's nothing wrong with reading childrens' stories as an adult in moderation and critising people for wanting to "be true adults". No offense, but I think things like entire websites and lifestyles based on and dedicated to a cartoon are more of an overdosed than moderation. |

Like I always say... "I may get older but I refuse to grow up."
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some ponies to brush. |

*Same person as 320010* I think the point Lewis is trying to make is how some people may consider part of being an adult is to part ways from the things you enjoyed as a child when actually there is no shame to it and people should not fear what others may think of you for it.
The reason Lewis could have been ashamed for being caught reading fairy tales could be because some may view them as a target for girls and younger children and now he reads them openly without any worry what others may think of him. It's the same with a show enjoyed by adult males that's intended for girls and younger children. In my personal belief, I think the idea of criticizing or insulting someone based an his or her interest is childish in its own nature and people should be able to enjoy a product even if it was not meant to be targeted for that person with certain exceptions. |

Let's not overthink this. Lewis was just pointing out that a person who thinks that as an adult one must only perform "adult" activities or enjoy "adult" content is a childish notion itself because the creation of that dichotomy is of one's own childhood / cultural upbringing.
As an adult, one recognizes how something might be appropriate for a child, or for an adult, or for both. As a child, we only see content which is not appropriate for children in a separate category, mostly because it is being kept from us and is the "reward" for growing up. We yet lack the experience to differentiate between content targeted for children solely or otherwise. |

I'm faving this just for the quote! I learned all too late that being an adult royally blows! |
| Jarntazecht #322331 1 year ago |
I like pretty much everything as an adult that I did when I was a kid.
Except of course, tiny girls and pretending to be a shota. |
