Whyyyyy are people getting mad at adults who want to buy a plush or toy from a kids show. I promise no adult is going to throw hands with a toddler if they get to the bluey plush before them

#these teenagers are going to have the worst crisis when they turn 20 and realize that their interests dont just Go Away and they still want #to collect all the same things they always have #'why are you; as an adult; collecting action figures and stuffed animals' i dont know how to tell you that 25+ is not old #i dont know how to tell you that life doesnt end when you begin to have adult responsibilities #i dont know how to tell you how strange it is to expect adults to have no personal lives and special interests and quirks and hobbies #im so scared for teenagers genuinely #if MY crisis when i turned 18 then 19 then 20 etc etc was bad i cant imagine what itll be like for these kids who are adopting the idea #that adulthood is nothing but responsibility and suffering #that adults in fandom spaces are inherently creepy or weird #i know this was a thing long before tik tok but #id venture to say tik tok is making it so much worse #literally a plague on humanity #miles rambles
