my op says I don't speculate on this as a moral issue
That comment is based on my perspective on every form of media, has nothing in it that's woke?
I lived my teenage years to the fullest and done with them. I don't feel anything special regarding problems of that time period.
Can it be entertaining? Sure
Do I think it's healthy to be so engaged and with teenage media at an older age? Nop
That just means someone hasn't grown up mentally with their age.

ironically your whole tirades from the other thread to this one just kinda shows how immature your mindset is with the black and white view you have of the world lol because that's not how it works. there are many, many, many tv shows, films, books, manga/anime series whose main characters are teenagers, but the underlying themes and messages in them are distinctly relatable to every person of every age, and deliberately so, because their writers didn't write those products with only kids under the age of 12 in mind, they wrote them with the intention for people of every age to enjoy them. "enjoying" doesn't mean obsessing over the characters' age or youthfulness fyi, in case you still can't seem to grasp that distinction. people can be engaged to discuss about a books's plot, themes, prose, a film's visuals, effects, execution, and anything in between. that's still "engagement in teenage media" but it has nothing to do with the characters' age. so your morality complex about gatekeeping people from enjoying things and accusing them with generalisations that aren't even true because you don't comprehend how different people can be different ain't the win you think it is
and before you question me with naming books or shows to prove i know what i'm talking about, just off the top of my head pixar/disney are masters at weaving a lot of complex adult themes into kids/teenagers' films (find nemo, the lion king, inside out, etc), and those franchises still get thinkpieces written about them to this day, mostly from adults, so are you going to call them all pedos or "not having grown up with their age" for engaging in and relating to films about literal kids? like come on, surely you've got more critical thinking than that
