So if anything, for kids to be watching the show is more awkward and inappropriate than a 30-year-old.
I'm not saying that kids shouldn't watch the show, either.
Rather, that you're watching something more appropriate for your age level, and for having a fandom for your age level, than they are.
And, as long as you're not trying to hit on these fellow fandom teens, who cares?

I also don't know how that show got the yaoi fans it did. It's one of the grossest, fucked up shows ever so it confounds me.

It's an adult show for adults; just because it has a (mostly) young fanbase, doesn't mean you're gonna go pedo on their asses. I understand your feelings of grossness, since there are so many under-aged people in the fandom, but you shouldn't feel bad about being in the fandom. I'd be more concerned about the idiots who create and share porn within the fandom and have revealed themselves to be under-aged so freely, seeing as it could potentially cause problems and discomfort for others in the fandom. Not because I think they're not mature (imo they're probably more mature than we give them credit for), but because of the social stigma that if you're spending time with kids half your age = there's something wrong with you, so it's your ass on the line if something bad happens.
You're probably freaking out because there's a chance your kid will be reading/watching porn in a couple of years (if they haven't already), and that's cool; I think freaking out about kids having or thinking about sex is something that people associate with parenting.
TL;DR don't feel bad, enjoy the fandom - it's not like you're forcing porn on anybody

That said, it's a cartoon aimed at an older audience. Don't feel gross because some darn kids are on your lawn.

i can't help but feel like a creep sometimes, especially with most of fandom younger than me wherever i go (i'm 26, not THAT ancient, but there are homestuck fans born in years i remember. that's not right)
and it's hard to explain that to kids too, because i know when i was 13/15 whatever i was a tough badass with no problem drawing or writing or rping porn with people, how dare you assume i'm too young to do it I'M MATURE!!
but it's a lot weirder/squickier on the other end, especially since you never know when some kid's parent is going to come across something you drew/wrote/whatever that they saved and freak out

Lolno, dude. I've been playing that system for longer than you've been alive. Stop.
It also put the age difference into perspective a little.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-08 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)This is the way fandom works. There's always a mix of ages, and after a while, people generally stop caring about that.
