#it’s not like teens don’t watch media of adults fucking around without blowing up chillax about it

Hearing teenagers criticize adults for watching teen media is so weird because they’re like ‘eww you like media for KIDS (Sus) that’s cringe!’ Meanwhile I’m sitting over here like yeah, I do like this piece of teen media. Could have something to do with the fact that I was the target age demographic when it came out. There’s a simpler explanation then whatever the fuck you were implying, I promise you.

#winters ramblings #I think it was gossip girl that this was about #and some rando kid was like ‘why would ADULTS watch stuff about TEENS’ #oh I don’t know! if you did basic math you might discover that I was YOUR age when this media came out! #and this might be a surprise but if people don’t grow out of loving shit like the lion king- a movie made for FIVE YEAR OLDS #because the movie is A GOOD PIECE OF MEDIA then it stands to reason that I would still like shows from my youth #that I liked. gossip girl is hardly GOOD media but I don’t see why I have to offer an explanation as to why I like it #let alone some of the fucking wild and offensive ass connotations people add to liking kids media #because I somehow enjoying anything that isn’t Made For Adults means there’s something WRONG with you #and teens KNOW that they don’t just stop liking shit when they turn 21 right? #like you don’t just stop enjoying everything you ever liked #some stuff ages poorly or you notice flaws you didn’t before #but you still LIKEthings from various phases of your life it’s not MEANINGFUL in any way #it’s just a normal ass thing to enjoy a range of media at most ages like?? #and even if I wasn’t a teen when it came out why do you think I should be barred from trash teen media? #you think you won’t enjoy watching an idiot 17 year old screw up her whole life? #I PROMISE you watching teens is a hell of a lot more interesting as an adult #if for no other reason than having lived through being a teen and knowing how BADLY those idiot decisions end #it’s like watching a toddler fall over while learning how to walk fuck you it’s ENTERTAINING ok #it’s not like teens don’t watch media of adults fucking around without blowing up chillax about it
