Even the adult cartoons like South Park, Bobs Burgers, etc...even anime.

Just something about it that makes me feel strange watching that stuff as an adult. I grew up watching South Park as a kid when it was on tv...but it lost its appeal after high school.

Does this mean Im lame, CE?

A lot of "adult" cartoons use humor that appeals to teens and young adults so it becomes less appealing as we age.

Also a lot of serious cartoons are boring.

You're only lame if you think it makes you more grown up or something. Everyone grows out of different shit it seems.

I'd say that opinion is more popular than you think, just not on GameFAQs.

Anyway, I disagree with you. Animation itself isn't childish.

Get bothered by people watching what they want to watch is weird.

I just got done watching Avatar: The Last Airbender for the first time just a few days ago. I'm 39. It was great!

"Cartoons" are just a delivery system for a story. If the story is cringey and childish, that's on the story, not the medium.

I see cartoons like South Park as being adult oriented. And early Simpsons was famous for really being more of an adult show but that kids could still enjoy, with the exception of getting the more adult jokes

I think it depends on the subject matter the show is dealing with. I find something like King of the Hill had more widespread appeal than something over the top and violent like Rick and Morty.

A lot of adult cartoons are just ugly and cheap looking art wise too. I have far more appreciation for the technical aspects of disney animation, even if the stories and humor are more for kids.

The people that obsess over cartoons that are meant for people way outside of their own target demographic however I get creeped out by.
Animation fan here and I can agree with this. Grown adults obsessing over children's cartoons are the worst. I'm not talking about people who like Avatar or Disney movies or whatever. I'm talking about bronies and grown ass adults who make hour-long videos on youtube about the flaws of Steven Universe.

somewhere along the line 'adult' and 'crude' were conflated in animation. i think it may have been south park. the novelty of 'oh wow it's a cartoon but they're doing swears and there's blood' wears off.

Nah. Nothing wrong with enjoying something designed to entertain.

The issue comes when you become a fanatic of it, like the utterly insane fans of Steven Universe, or Bronies who inflict that on children you enjoy the show.

I half agree with the TC. It's one thing to like Family Guy or the average Adult Swim stuff. But to actively follow animated movies after you hit 13 years old is weird. If I didn't watch it as a kid, I'm not pursuing the newer stuff.

For animation, I mostly care for stuff I watched in the 90's and some of the newer animated superhero features (DC animated movies based on comics).

Hollywood figured out that superheroes and Star Wars will keep us all on the Disney teet, lol! They win in the end! Girls love Frozen, dudes love Iron Man.

Also the slice of life anime stuff where they feature middle schoolers or high schoolers and the viewers are in their 30s.
As are the writers.

It is kind of weird but in my defense, I don't buy toys or statuettes or T-shirts. My comics are in a closet next to my sexuality. (these are jokes, folks)

Depends what you mean by "love." You mean like fanatics or just liking it?
