Watching cartoons, if not done excessively, is just whimsical and largely innocuous. Going out and partying hard regularly when you're raising children is not.

    What’s considered excessive?

    Cuz there’s a lot of really amazing animated stuff out there these days that’s definitely not for kids, and some people, myself included, prefer it over live action.

    For me it’s largely because a “meh” voice talent is far better than a “meh” live-action talent, since you can’t see them. Animation is also lovely for people with prosopagnosia (face blindness) because animated characters usually look wildly different in easy to notice ways.

    I don't disagree, I'm a big fan of ATLA, for instance, and Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Berserk, NGE, and many others. And movies like Memories, Redline, Vampire Hunter D, Akira... But it's important not to get lost in media consumption and lose track of things that are (and should be perceived as) more important in life, that's all I meant. I'm not even that good at not getting lost, I'm just saying it's important to keep it in mind.
