I've been called childish and/or pedophilic, but not gay. Either way, I tell them that I'm into cartoons because I'm looking to be an animator. That usually shuts them up, because the person who calls you such things have nothing going in their lives. Fill them with envy I'd say... even if your "path to an animation career" ain't true.

I could care less what other people think, I find cartoons more entertaining than 3/4 of the crap on television, which, as far as I am concerned, is all that matters.

I've never really outgrown the cartoon stage.

i think it's weird for adults to watch most cartoons, but i don't care if you do. adventure time is good. has adult humor in it.

That mindset is part of the problem right there. Cartoons needn't be something that must be outgrown. From the original Bugs Bunny cartoons being intended for all the moviegoing audiences to the modern-day mainstream success of The Simpsons, Family Guy, and South Park, the medium of animation has proven itself more than capable of being worth the attention of adult audiences. (Anime can also be pretty cool and good at this, too, but that's outside the scope of this board.)

Granted, this does little to counter the weird looks an adult gets for admitting to watching cartoons ostensibly marketed toward children. However, in the age of DVD box sets and Netflix it's easier than ever to find cartoons that are enjoyable for viewers of any age. Another thing that helps to dispel the gay pedophile manchild accusations is to establish yourself as a responsible sane adult who also has a hobby of watching cartoons and not delve into the fantarded excesses which many bronies have become guilty of.

sounds like an overgrown man-child to me.

Some pretty weird people make cartoons. If you feel hurt by comments about how it's childish/gay/pedo to like a princess character in a cartoon, maybe you should consider making some new acquaintances. Life's pretty long, but I'd wager it's too short to worry about these sorts of things.

Nope, just other people being called "Weird" or "odd" for some bullshit reason. Although it is retarded for them to even think so, especially at first glance.

I've just finished watching the show myself (up to season 4) because it was recommended by a friend who I share similar tastes with.

And at first, I thought it was just going to be some kids show but after seeing all the underlying themes with it, I believe its a show adults could watch with their children. And pick up the easter eggs that their kids will probably miss.

I watch the same cartoons my 9 year old nieces watch and my family more or less thinks it's a disgusting habit but has never actually approached me to tell me they think it's creepy or pedophelic, but the looks they give me. Christ almighty, it's like I'm raping their children right in front of them.
