#paranoia agent or something. but i dont think a kid would necessarily WANT to watch paranoia agent

saw someone ask "is (x anime, i think it was fma which is very funny) appropriate for me to watch with my 14 year old sibling" recently and i was just like... That's crazy. anything is appropriate for a 14 year old.. i watched evangelion when i was 14 and im well adjusted. well im not but it's NOT eva's fault. most of the damage done to my teenage psyche was because of fandom for unassuming things that were definitely "age appropriate" for me. & i feel like watching or reading something a little too mature for you is part of growing up. idk 14 year olds can definitely think for themselves and dont need art gated off from them. like obviously young teens are not adults but they have functioning brains! they can analyze shows

#like. 1. kids hear worse shit in school you do not need to shelter them #and 2. if something looks appealing to children its probably ok for them? like idk i wouldnt recommend a 14 year old watch like #paranoia agent or something. but i dont think a kid would necessarily WANT to watch paranoia agent #also. sorry for saying so much shit. but i think possibly some of the st*phen's univ*rse discourse was bc a lot of people were watching #who had aged out of the demographic and not completely aware of that or ready to move on but were ready to like... be critical #in a way that maybe a kids show wasnt right for and could have put their talents towards something deeper. possibly
