I don't understand why getting older means you suddenly have to stop liking things you one did. My favourite colors and foods didn't change, why do I have to never read my favourite books again. Why are we not allowed to enjoy kid shows just like our kids do just because we are older than them.

This is a mentality that I don't understand.

You misunderstand me. It's not that I think NO children's entertainment is enjoyable for adults. For example, Avatar: The Last Airbender completely changed my life. Plenty of children's books, movies, and TV shows remain relevant and affecting for adult viewers—in fact, I feel very strongly about this.

It's just that I think MLP:FIM in particular has little to offer save its inoffensiveness. I find it saccharine and forgettable. I have no idea why people like it so much. I mean that quite literally—it's not that I think adults who get fannish about it are stupid, or wrong—it's more like I find them baffling, as though they are speaking a different language.

"Art of the Dress" reflects my daily experience at my job (I'm a programmer) so accurately that it's what got me hooked on the show. I couldn't keep watching it in season 2 though, it had changed in a way that kinda broke it for me.

Tbh for most people those things change and it's pretty natural that as you grow older your taste in food changes (f.e. I hate ketchup now, but used to eat it with EVERYTHING), cognitive abilities do as well. I think it's more common than NOT changing your preferences. Of course, I am sentimetal towards my old favorite shows or books, but I'd never say they're my favorites now. And I surely can't enjoy kid shows the same way children do, though I can enjoy it in my own way.
This isn't a mentality, it's a process.
