Why?
EDIT: You post in c/games lmao if you play video games as an adult you would absolutely end up on the wrong end of this
EDIT 2: Do you not care that this would disproportionately hurt neurodiverse people, or do you consider that a bonus?
It's really tiring to see people going to huge efforts to analyse media that's intended for young children and complain about tropes and narrative devices that are there because it's media for children.
I get that it's sort of an elitist sentiment, but media written for or targeted at adults is usually better, or at least freer to explore the sorts of things these people claim they want to see, and they would almost certainly have a better time if they just stopped watching children's media.
For example, Harry Potter / Disney fanatics in their late 20s early 30s. Read another book, I'm begging you.
Plenty of video games written for exclusively adults (and plenty that can't legally be sold to children).
