EDIT: fwiw I hunted down this thread and it turns out that OP actually did some self-crit, which was more positive than I was expecting https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDigitalCircus/comments/1ucu9hl/jax_being_trans_and_my_opinion_as_a_cis_straight/

This sneering derision you hold for the notion of people liking a piece of media that you don't (fed by some unexamined ableism, judging by your moderation history and comments about "emotionally stunted adult children") and that they might find some emotional resonance in it indicates a chasm of emotional maturity far greater than the 30something YA readers you've made into your personal specter.
And I say this as someone who also holds a dislike of the show for their own reasons, so find a different reason to write me off. At least I actually investigated it rather than parading around and shouting to the high heavens what a terribly smart and above it all boy I am.
Your comments are public. I am not naive enough to believe that is only what you were saying. Attempting to paint over backhanded smug garbage about media taste not being on a high enough level as being just "expressing your opinion" on it, especially since you took the mask off and allowed the ableism fueling it to show (modlogs are public too remember), is really gross. There's a reason you kept getting modsniped.
Also let the irony escape no one that you also said all this wearing an Aqua Teen avatar, a show with such lofty mature writing as "what if a banana sexually assaulted people for twelve minutes" or "what if Hitler was a balloon and stopped the Holocaust because he liked Adam Sandler movies".
Never underestimate internet forum's ability to make you spend an obscene amount of time defending something you don't even like because the haters dislike it for the wrong reasons.
Sure let's check that.
Hmm. And then as for "After that, people started swearing at me, which is when I asserted that people shouldn't limit themselves to just watching simplistic media", someone very justifiably told you to fuck off for that very backhanded sanctimonious bit about "if your media taste is still at that level", you responded with "idk how old you are, but a millennial should be consuming media more challenging than TADC. Tell me I'm wrong." which is very much NOT just saying people shouldn't limit themselves to simplistic media, and is entirely rendering judgement.
and THAT is where the ableism comes in. This has nothing to do with "exclusively consuming children's media" or "limiting themselves to just watching simplistic media". I frankly do not care how frustrated you are at someone for committing the high crime of telling you to fuck off, you don't get to pull a Vaush and start spewing reactionary dogwater just because you deem the other person bad.
