Not my intention. I used those extreme examples to make the point that shaming is not necessarily bad. Obviously, an adult that has a child’s mind, not due to a disability but because they refuse to grow, is more of a grey area where people can disagree if shaming is warranted. I find it pathetic and repellant, some others apparently disagree. Some of those may be well adjusted adults, but some of them may benefit from looking in the mirror I’m holding up
Reading YA novels does not mean they have a “child’s mind”. Rest and relaxation are also things to value, people cannot be “on” 100% of the time and having unchallenging fiction as a way to unwind is a better use of time than social media. (Speaking of holding up mirrors…)
There’s a big difference between unchallenging and childish. Don’t conflate the two.
Top chef is unchallenging, Sesame Street (R.I.P) is for children. An adult watching Top Chef can turn their brain off and chill, a non-mentally disabled adult watching Sesame Street (for themselves, not with kids) is childish.
A non-mentally disabled adult spending this much time judging imagined people on Facebook/Reddit/Lemmy for a single activity they do in their spare time is not someone you should take life advice from.
Lol, says the person who just can’t stop digging and keeps responding.
Well, I suppose it’s a good thing for you that you seem impervious to growth and admitting you’re wrong. Straw manning, moving the goal posts, and attacking the source is a good start for a tool box of skills used to resist any self reflection, I’m sure you’ve got a lot more in there.
How much time do you think this takes? What you’re saying isn’t exactly deep and thought provoking. 30 seconds to bang out a response when a little notification interrupts me catching up on the news isn’t much. I couldn’t have spent more than five minutes on this thread altogether, and 90 seconds on you tops.
You are equating adults reading YA novels to “fascists, abusers, bigots, the ultra wealthy, etc.”
It’s time to admit your argument may have gone off the rails at some point.
