Idk, I feel like tying maturity to surviving in horrible situations gets used to call teens and kids "old souls" when they survive shit many adults will never face or don't often face until they're adults.

I didn't experience the full gamut of awful shit some children do, but the legit traumatic stuff kid me dealt with didn't make me more mature, it just fucked me up. And it didn't give me much if any perspective about the relative unimportance of fiction and fictional characters compared to rl hardship.

I probably would have cared less about my fictional faves and what happened to them if I wasn't using fiction as a lifeline to cope.

I get where you're coming from when it comes to online drama having less impact and importance the more often you see the same arguments and infighting happen over and over, though.

Nobody said the experience had to be bad experience. This is a common assumption people, including you, make but as in explicitly stated "worst or best" in the comment it applies to both ends of the spectrum.

Fans scaring extremely about some fandom news they like and obsessing over it as though it's the best thing in their lives is common in fandoms full of teens; the screaming and/or obsessive teen fan is a common thing for a reason and considered normal for that age bracket and not for 30+ for a reason; it has nothing to do with trauma because it's about people with no trauma, too.

I get what you mean, for sure. But I went through some pretty messed up stuff as a kid and I still agree with AYRT. I agree with you as well, in that it didn't give me much of a mature perspective to go through that stuff. My perspective does however change a lot with age and time. My "experience" as a kid was very bewildering and it took until I was a lot older to make sense of it and learn from it.
