Im not that old, but I do wonder at what point, if ever, is it sad to find toys/stuff designed for young people fun?

I dont like hunting and meat smokers. Or sports. Im into classic consoles and rc cars and Legos. Sometimes I feel like people have kids just so they can try to relive their own kid days. But I do that on a daily basis. Im surrounded by "kid" stuff, right down to 90s vhs cartoons and a Bop it.

My co workers would think its very odd that I spent the weekend playing atari and building legos. I guess I did put up some wood paneling too. But most other people were probably trucking their kids to sports practice and smoking a hog.

I do not really judge people for enjoying their childhood toys, but back when my son was a lot younger, he really enjoyed watching youtube movies of adults playing with Thomas the Tank Engine toys. Now that was creepy. Also, the fact that people are actively monetizing this felt a bit dystopian.
