Yeah, that's the target demographic for the games and the animated series, etc.

The fact that older people enjoy it at as well doesn't mean it's targeted at an adult audience.

[rachelled.livejournal.com]

Pretty much this. I'm 23 and I know other bunches of people my age or older who play, but that doesn't change that it's marketed towards children.

I'm not fooling myself but at the same time I don't see the need to get all defensive about it :p

[childings.livejournal.com]

I've personally noticed that some people in fandom get overly defensive when you point out the things that they love are made primarily for children, probably because they assume that because it's "for children" that's like saying that it's of lower quality or whatever, when that is definitely not the case. In fact, there's so much media out there that is made for children that's of better quality than media that's made for adults. The target demographic shouldn't matter, but hey, people think it does for whatever reason.

[kittikattie.livejournal.com]

I'll admit I get overly defensive a lot in public, but this is because I hear a lot away from fandom that even being interested in the things I am labels me a "child."

Someone actually asked me after I got married "so you gonna stop playing with dolls and video games and be a real grown up and have children?"

...fuck what. Because you're an adult when you have no hobbies or interests and have sank your entire being into being a parent and/or workhorse?

And it's not as easy as "ignore them" for many people. It's irritating.

[childings.livejournal.com]

Well, merely pointing out that a game is marketed primarily for children is a far cry from suggesting that any adult who likes it is automatically childish.

I know it's not easy to ignore these people, but if you really enjoy Pokemon or other qhatever, then who really cares what they think? Personally, I haven't been judged too harshly by people for my love of cartoons or whatever else people label as "childish" but if I was I doubt it would bother me that much

[rachelled.livejournal.com]

Pretty much this, lol. I don't see why people have to get up in arms about it. The simple fact is that it IS a kids' game, but like many things, it can be enjoyed by any age. Nothing wrong with that! Trying to argue that it's not aimed at children just seems like denial.
