I have also noticed adult readers of children's literature getting exceedingly worked up over tropes of children's literature (like absent/dead/ineffectual parents or other adult authorities.) They get mad that the children are put in a position to have to save the day, instead of the adults doing so. Like, what do they think the child readers want to read about? And what the hell kind of books did *they* read when they were children??

Ugh, yes, this drives me crazy! Adults reading children's fiction and applying their adult sensibilities and perspectives to it... For goodness sake, it's not written for you! It's written to be fantasy for children, who spend their free time making up adventures in which they're the heroes! It is going to have "child logic," not adult logic.

What the fuck would a children's book/show/movie even be if the adults were present and effective? "Billy, get back inside. No, you can't go 'save the world;' you're a child. Now sit down and eat your dinner." *roll credits*

I read about one's where the kids got sensible adults to solve the problem. I am very old though.

Like... I think it's fair to say 'where are the adults??' in criticism of the *adult characters who are failing Our Heroes*! But the people who say 'where are the adults??' to criticize the *author*, that's wild to me. Like, that's the genre!
