I may be the only one who feels this way, but it gets so annoying talking to some teens on Gaia. They talk about cartoon characters, music artists, and actors and how much they love them and "Hands off, he's mine!" Most of the time I have no idea what or who they're talking about. I don't watch anime or read manga. I take quizzes to earn gold and that question is always in one.
I watch cartoons, but I watch Backyardigans and Dora the Explorer with my daughter. I don't know anything about the cartoons of today. I watched Ren and Stimpy, Doug, Rugrats, and Bobby's World. But I never talked about how sexy the guys were, which most of the teen girls do today. I mean yeah, when I was in highschool I fantasized about being married to a Backstreet Boy or *NSYNCer. But these are cartoon characters. Fictional cartoons. How can a cartoon be sexy? I don't get it. confused

Heh, Doressa, I'm with you. I have nothing against teenagers, as long as they're able to converse on an intelligent level. Of course, the minute anyone uses numbers as letters and letters as entire words, I feel free to disregard anything they say, no matter HOW old they are. blaugh
Of course, I still collect toys, read comics, and watch cartoons, so I can still relate to kids. My younger cousins all view me with awe, because I collect Littlest Petshop toys and stuffed animals and action figures.
But I still enjoy talking about these things with adults who enjoy the same, because I don't just watch anime, I'm an animation afficianato. Cartoons aren't just for kids. wink I can talk intelligently about animation types and influences and histories from all over the world. That's just far more rewarding that claiming which anime character is hotter than another (although I will admit to enjoying 2D aesthetics in characters and know many, MANY adults who do the same).
