Just saying because nearly every person I know who has ADHD and/or Autism (including myself) seems to care less about people knowing they’re into “childish” things.

Also the idea that this is a new phenomenon because Millenials and older gen Z are “soft” or stunted in some way.

I mean, boomers have model trains and and cars. So did their parents. My grandma used to knit herself plushies. This isn’t new. You don’t suddenly stop having your old likes because you reach a certain age.

    model trains are an adult hobby I have never once met a child who liked them the target demographic is 60+ year old English men

    that being said there is no shame in an adult liking things from their childhood the term refers to the people who are rabid consumers if you given the option would not rent a full time apartment in disneyland you aren’t a disney adullt
