Excuse you, i know plenty of 30, 40, 50 yo that still play D&D. Where in the world was it written that RPGs had to be a preteen thing? Get over yourself.

nayrt
This specific example isn't necessarily the most fitting, but I get what anon is saying. And even if there are adults who play D&D, I'm not sold on these specific characters doing it. There needs to be some convincing done.
And hte rest of theiri points, like footsie pajamas and sleepovers and stuff are valid. I see that everywhere, and it's so cringeworthy.

NA

If they were talking about something that actually mattered, I might give them the point. Like if they were protesting a story in which a character cries in their room every night because they're not sure if [insert crush's name] even knows they exist, then okay, they's behaving like a preteen and it's kind of a weird choice to make for an adult character.

But the examples anon is giving and objecting to aren't actually examples of immaturity. They's examples of playfulness and unself-consciousness.

why make somewhat well adjusted adults act like preteens?

Part of being a "well adjusted adult" for a lot of people is their ability to not lose their sense of youth and playfulness. When I see celebrities and such wearing footie pajamas, I just think, there's a person who doesn't want life to be something limited and mundane they have to plod through. There's a person who doesn't want to become boring and routine just because they're an adult.

I hope I'm playing geeky board games when I'm forty. I hope I get the chance to have sleep overs with my adult friends because sleep overs are awesome. And I've never worn footie pajamas before, but maybe I should get on that; twenty-eight seems a good age to try them out for the first time.

The problem is it's so hard to find adult-sized footie pajamas. Or hats with ears on them. Or shoes with blinky-lights in the soles. I'm tellin' ya.
