We're watching different children's shows...

Just watch Adventure Time they said, it's just peacefully and good vibes, they said.

No emotional labor

Am I watching the wrong kid shows? 🤔

Begging the internet to stop using "emotional labor" to mean "thinking about things".

emotional labor?

what?

Why are we calling everything neurodivergent now?

These shows are written by adults, surely adults can enjoy them. Not everything needs to be the Illiad to have a complex plot, intriguing character development and a poignant message.

Of course I'm talking about Gravity Falls.

definitely no emotional trauma from she-ra 😭

I think I've watched more kids shows than adult shows in the past couple years but just because they're good shows!

Gravity falls? 😈

I have nothing to say here.

Not just emotional but intellectual. Video games to. I would be on mmo's and there was the pvpers type who wanted the game to be more challenging and then rp types like me that were like. I don't want a challenge I want to play with toys. Zoom Zoom. pew pew.

Does passive consumption require labour?

The common mistake of mistaking a "children's show" based on something Astrid Lindgren wrote, for something that's emotionally light weight.

I guess that would count for Shaun the Sheep, not so much for Bluey

More of a tastes thing over an emotional labor thing, but I absolutely LOVE animated kids shows/movies so much more than any other type of show/movie.

Hell, been thinking recently about taking one of the OCs I have for the show Franklin, updating his backstory a little, and writing more fanfiction of him. Cringe? Maybe, but who cares!

Good idea!

Settles in to watch the Nami's background/Arlong arc in One Piece.

I watched all of Phineas and Ferb after I got my first job. The pros of getting an income and trying out all the things you parents didn't let you do as a kid.

I find turning the color off (black and white) helps me to not get overwhelmed.

Are you stalking me?

You can watch slop without it having anything to do with any neurodivergence whatsoever.

I kind of watched them for different reasons. I think I started watching them because I had the idea I could filter out what shows I would let my future children watch but in doing so, I ended up liking the shows. Sarah and Duck is a nice one. Love Masha and the Bear.

Also, the nice colours, and the plots that are actually internally consistent and flow logically. And the characters that aren't all brooding, narcissistic assholes.

She is the new Valve logo?

Does "Murder, She Wrote" count?

oh dude we'd take at least a week between episodes of Broadchurch. Grew to miss those breaks the networks would give us.

What about DS9

Yeah

Some kids shows are pretty good, they got away with doing stuff adults wouldve thought looked too low budget, so you get fun concepts that they dont tackle otherwise

Yeah I aint got that. That's what playing STALKER is for.

Yeah

I don't like watch TV or movies at all. I prefer to watch a few select youtube channels I curate.
