Hello everyone! This is CEO100able, and there is just an important thing I need to address, which I've sadly experienced over the years. It's about something unfair and unnecessary against teenagers and older who still like to collect and enjoy various kids' things: excessive criticism! You see, I do not get why some people, especially parents, elders or whoever, get (excessively) concerned over young people in their teenage years and beyond still enjoying certain children's stuff and collecting kids' merchandise, which especially used to happen in comments sections of some of my videos on my YouTube channel when talking about my videos involving kids' content. Although it seems to be thankfully obsolete nowadays, I should go over several realistic points. First of all, since it's my channel, I can allow and disallow anything I wish as long as it's not too supposedly "immature" and does not lead to copyright complications. I mean, the idea of my YouTube channel is to have a variety of content suitable for all ages since, as I've said before, my dad considers me the "Fred Rogers of YouTube" when it comes to kids' content like Thomas & Friends, Teletubbies, Bob The Builder, Blue's Clues, Bear in the Big Blue House, Putt-Putt, etc. (plus it has been done for not only for babies, toddlers, preschoolers and elementary school kids, but also for people who grew up with them when they were kids), though on one hand, I also see myself as the "Electronic Arts of Christian YouTube users" due to the fact I also upload content to YouTube that is not specifically designated for young children, but older children and beyond, such as various footage of Microsoft Windows operating systems and family-friendly video games from around the world rated "E for Everyone" and "Everyone 10+" in North America (my home continent).
Like all TV shows and video games, the ones designed for kids are actually produced by adults, so you have to wonder, why can't adults have fun with them as well, especially those with developmental disabilities, even if they're not also specifically made for them? Several teenagers and older people in the 21st century carry on enjoying children's stuff and obtaining merchandise for much younger ages due to various reasons like nostalgia and catching up with things they missed out on when they were kids as they remain young at heart, and there is no way to avoid that generation, so to those who are jealous of them as a result of being raised very differently thus leading to yourselves not being that young at heart, consider familiarizing yourselves with these concepts and permanently accepting them for cripes' sake! But don't you dare make matters worse by denying any of this or dismissing it saying, "Yeah, well..." because that phrase is so lame in this case and I have the right to say it all and do what I do with children's stuff in my family's household and on the web! There is a whole lot more to this world that goes on than you don't realize.
Even parents have the nerve to treat their kids unfairly about growing up, which may culminate in them deciding to avoid dealing with such views anymore in various ways, whether it be moving away to another state of the United States or Australia, or another province of Canada, or even moving to another country with almost everything they owned over the years (like what a little boy named Alexander thought about doing in the 1972 children's picture book, "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day," when he believed that he should move to Australia, hoping that things for him would be better there when things were not going as expected for him. In fact, lots of children's media can be relatable in real life situations we all experience). Seriously, having fun with a variety of children's stuff beyond their targeted audiences does not tarnish the fact you're growing up nor your amount of experience with the world as there are other things that come first, like seeing the news on TV and the Internet (and listening to it on the radio), seeking reality, financial management, driving cars, high school, college, and jobs.
Sure, I do offer stuff for everyone to see for entertainment on my YouTube channel and consider it "family-friendly," and there are some good and bad things that were designed for kids (which I discussed in another blog post about my top examples of fictional characters not getting along or at least understanding one another last year), but that doesn't necessarily mean the fact I would upload content about TV show episodes of Teletubbies and video games based on it and Thomas & Friends, Bob The Builder, Blue's Clues, Putt-Putt, etc. is immature (same with me still obtaining and enjoying merchandise for kids) because all I've wanted to do is to make fans happy about their childhood memories being brought back and generally be an archivist. I did not intend to let haters to invade my YouTube channel way too often nor let anyone spoil my reasonable intentions. So the people who have been surprised about it need to stop whining, chattering, pointing out the obvious about the age groups (and being literal about them in the process similar to being literal about figures of speech) and gossiping about who could still enjoy it and just never see it, period! Those guys and gals have no idea what they sound like when innocent people who are sincerely young at heart observe such terrible madness!
On a related note, although kids' clothing and kiddie rides are also manufactured by adults and machinery, they're completely different since not even someone a decade older than a six-year-old child could fit in them easily anymore. The types of kids' merchandise I've been specifically talking about are VHS tapes, DVDs, Blu-ray products, video games, audio cassettes, audio CDs, toys, and books.
To those who still despise the fact I have videos containing media for very young children on my YouTube channel no matter what, go find something else to watch on there that fully satisfies you from now on. It will make your lives a lot easier. As for the rest of you (very friendly folks, that is), please consider researching what I've been talking about by searching for questions based on these on Google, Quora, etc. Thank you.
This concludes my latest blog post, in the style of a rant, as I used to work on rant videos for my YouTube channel about things I could not understand back in the early 2010s, but this time, I decided that it was easier to type it all out in a blog post. I hope you understood it and found it informative, and see you next time!
