dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

A lot of animation does have adult themes. I've always found it kinda weord though that animation for adults tends to be more childish than animation for children.

yeah the good "all-ages" shows have layers that kids don't notice for adults to enjoy

I don't remember the exact quote or where I read it, but Hayao Miyazaki has basically said that he refuses to do this with his movies because he feels like it would insult the intelligence of the kids who watch them, and that he also believes that that refusal is a big part of why they are so appealing to adults as well.

It's an interesting argument imo
