When Are You "Too Old" For Something?

Youkai · Sep 30, 2013

Hell yeah there are so many "stupid" people in the World who would love to do the worsth shit you could ever think of but won't do because it is childish and in the end because they are frustraded they make it look like something bad noone else should do as well ...
So Society made this "you are to old for ?????" rule because they were just plainly jealous !
And people who actually stand up for what they like are the stupid outsides called Nerds or whatever they can think of but in the depths of their heart they wish to be exactly (well similiar) as strong as those Nerds they make fun of.

Some years ago at Work my coworkers were all like "how could you like those stupid japoos they are ugly and only watch drawn child porn" .... until one of the "cool" guys started watching Dragonball in their free time ... thats when it was so awesome that I could bring some "Dragonball toys" from my Japan Trip -.-V

Does that mean I'm an unhappy cynical asshole for not playing with my Dragon Ball Z action figures that I loved to death at age 7?

as long as you are not doing it because you see no reason or just don't want to ... no ... but if it is because it is "childish" than yes ^^

Are you ever too old for something, I say no kinda. If you like something childish why should some one else's opinion stop you from liking it? What was that, it's not really an opinion? Lets find something for kids and adults like. Mario or Sonic( gotcha).Lets say you were buying a Sonic toy collectible and your mom comes and asks your grown ass self: "Aren't you a little too old for Sonic?" what, you're not? But ur mom thinks Sonic is for children; oh, so it's an opinion.

Now that we agree that it is at least somewhat an opinion: Yes, you should tottaly stop liking what you like because of an individual's own opinion, they should also tell you what you should like and what music is bad or not. That's pretty much what you're saying if you clicked yes.

Well then let's lower our standards a bit. My Little Pony (but this show wasn't only meant for little girls but lets keep it that way for now) as an example, yes, I am a brony. Am I too old for it, no; yes? No, then lets compare it to Dora; yes that's really how it is, yeah. We can agree that things like diapers, baby blocks, and Dora we should really let go of.

Let's add Hello Kitty. Now lets say we have a 22 year old female deviantart artist who like it. She decorates he clothes, computer, bag, collectable toys and accessories with it. Obviously not everything of hers is not fucked up with it. Is that normal, yes, then lets change that with MLP instead. Still acceptable?
You guys are sexist why can girls like guy thing and guys can't like girl things uness he's gay.
Huh, Dora and Hello Kitty aren't on the same level? What about FIM and Hello Kitty pffft.

So yeah, you shouldn't stop liking something just because someone thinks it's immature and such. Baby blocks and diapers should be kept away and stuff such as video games and cartoons can/should stay. Just don't obsess over it and let it take over your life.

Unless you're an Otaku because people's opinion should enforce you how to live your life

Well, if someone consider himself/herself too old for something, he/she should lay down and cover himself/herself with a grass blanket.

I always try to not behave like that, being all grown up and stuff. I believe I have so much to learn yet... And I feel really bothered around people behaving like that!

My tastes for entertainment have not changed since I was ~6 years old (holy crap I just remembered how freaking many years ago that was) and I don't see why they ever would.
I still play video games (of the same genres even) and I still watch stupid cartoons. Hell, I still feel actual emotions when watching disney movies just like kid-me used to.
Some stuff that I didn't know about before (such as D&D) or that I simply didn't have (Online games) has been added to that over the years, but I have never discarded any of my tastes as I got older.

To be honest, if I were to try and "act my age" I wouldn't know what the fuck to do with my free time anymore.

Yes, You can be "truly" too old for something for example: Playing Outside/Inside(not TV games etc)

Same with video games, anime, manga, and LNs there are anime for seniors, manga and LNs for older folks also exist.

There are some things an old person shouldn't do like pole dancing, they need more class in their dancing when they get older.

If you enjoy it, if you get something from it, then what does your age matter? "you're too old for that" or "you're too young for that" are meaningless sentiments only put out there to create this sort of false sense of adult-hood separation of interest and drives. Obviously barring things that require a certain level of comprehension of consequences (can't drive when you're 5).

TL;DR - have fun. haters gonna hate.

Neither would I. Ponyo or My Neighbor Totoro, maybe, but Mononoke is a bit much. It's a shame that Hayao Miyazaki never made a movie like that again. Of all the Ghibli films, I think Mononoke had the most "impact."

I'd quickly argue in favor of Grave of the Fireflies, Totoro and Spirited Away.

But on the topic, I think it's more likely to be too young for something than to be old for something. I'd never show Borat to an 11 year old, but my aunt is more than willing to watch a Toy Story movie.
