That's a good way to get around the usual Vincent AdultMan e-bullying nonsense for sure. Only the most hardcore and dedicated Vincent AdultMen would try to e-bully someone for watching something with their kids.
One of the funniest and depressing things I read in recent years was some dude saying "dune is proof you can make a star wars film for adults" and all I could think was "you are so close to understanding star wars is for children but still so far away."
It's for children, yes, and it can also a good time for adults as long as the adults don't get utterly absorbed into it.
For sure. I mean it's "all ages" entertainment. Who doesn't like seeing Chewbacca throw around some space nazis. But people take it too far. I feel bad for the kid who played Anakin. The star wars nerds really raked him over the coals and just... that poor boy never deserved that hate.
Ahmed Best got decades of homophobic and racist hate vomited his way after Jar Jar made it to the big screens.
That's another example. Poor dude just did a job and they bullied him for it.
