OK that made me giggle...

The comments by "Haemophilia_Type_A" are the only ones that make sense. This one, sadly, has 0 upvotes:

Who cares about being 'weird' as long as you're not hurting anyone? It's immature to care so much about being normal that you'd stop enjoying things that make you happy just because other people might judge you for it.

I don't like the show in question, but I'll be damned if I'll let social norms stop me enjoying the things that I enjoy even if they're "weird".

I rewatched the entire first season of Pokémon—in the original Japanese—at ~26. Letting society dictate what age is appropriate to enjoy some given art is nonsensical. The appreciation of art should transcend all ages, all cultures, all epochs. Alice's Adventures In Wonderland was originally written as a children's book (by a man who was most likely a GL). The idea that "children" and "adults" should more or less exist in two separate "worlds" is one of the great tragedies of our contemporary world.

As for that silly concept of "degeneracy" frequently brought up in that Reddit thread, I've got so much to say about it that it deserves its own post and its own thread... eventually.
