Is it true that adults who watch only cartoons have mental disabilities?

Answer 1

Here are some opinions from our community:

• Personally I don't think so...my bro is 24 and he is still watches DBZ...so no its not a bad thing.
• No. i am over 18 and i watch anime all the time there is seldom a day that goes by that I don't watch at least one episode of anime :P
• The only thing that I can think of is that they think its immature. i am 19 and i still watch a lot of anime (and I'm not kidding when i say A LOT). I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with it, I just watch what i want to watch.
• No, there's much worse to watch on TV than Cartoons (Reality TV for example).
• Yes, because they do not get the perspective and therefore become unable to function in the society [which of course in not entirely perfect and one has to make necessary compromises and commit lesser evil] How's that for an answer? Cartoons are good as entertainment, but not as majority of your life's activities.
• Unfortunately, we as adults are expected to know as much as we can, life is not about entertainment. It's about learning.
• There is nothing wrong with watching what you want to watch everyone is different. who cares if other people think it's immature or whatever they are thinking I myself can't stop watching anime and I'm 19.
• Of Course Not!!! I WILL!!! And I'm not ashamed of it, either!!! I think they NEVER get old! You can be 30 and still watch Spongebob!!! Cartoons are classics!!!!
• No it's NOT, anyone can watch cartoons at any age
• No way!!!! anime rocks, I watch it so much that i don't like normal movies any more :D
• I do think It shows a certain amount of immaturity if they watch nothing else.
• Not at all. If you like cartoons, there's no law or even a taboo against watching them. I happen to be a Tom & Jerry fan myself.
• Heck no! A cartoon network study from the early 21st century found that "adults watch cartoons more than children." Don't feel bad because there is still a kid in you... enjoy it bud. :)
• I don't think its a question of right or wrong. It might be somewhat different than what most adults watch, but everyone has different tastes.
• No I don't think so because I'm 19 and will most likely still be watching anime for years to come it's all I watch really.
• Not a bit... cartoons are good. There's nothing wrong with watching them, regardless of your age.
• As long as you are not a couch potato and watch cartoons daily there is nothing weird about watching cartoons. With so much junk on TV many people enjoy certain cartoons even though they are related to younger children. If you enjoy them then good for you, but if you sit hour after hour get up and do something else.
• Yes. Hold an intervention before it's too late.
• Yes. Get a life.
• Its not a question or right or wrong. If you like cartoons, watch away! Just make sure your life isn't about cartoons, but about important things like being with friends and family, love, enjoying yourself, etc.
• Some girls might think it is crazy, but it just depends on the girl. Try to find a girl with the same interest as you.
• It isn't wrong as such, it is a matter of personal choice but many people would consider that by concentrating on just one type of program you are depriving yourself of many other programs which you might actually enjoy if you tried watching them.
• Many adults watch cartoons for the same entertainment as watching something like "Desperate Housewives," though cartoons can be more preferred since it can take you away from reality's problems. Though because you only watch cartoons; it can seem a bit peculiar for your peers.
• No, there is nothing wrong with it at all. Many cartoons are actually intended only for mature or adult audiences (Family Guy is an obvious example, and many anime contain scenes and themes that younger people should not be exposed to, and cannot understand).
• No it's not a bad thing at all
• It actually depends on what type of cartoon it is,like if its a cartoon based on violence.
• Age doesn't matter and I do still love watching cartoons at my age!
• There is nothing wrong with only watching cartoons. Everybody is different so we like different things.
• Without cartoons, your life will be an empty void of despair.

Answer 2

Absolutly false!

One: No one can stay a child foever (Though they can act like it)

Two: Cartoons are good for all ages. They're relaxing too, when you're not bent over laughing. XD

I personally love cartoons and watch them all the time, and though I can be silly. I can be completely calm, cool, collected, and mature when I want to be.

Cartoons are great for all ages.

Answer 3

I can't say it's good or bad. I had an uncle that watched cartoons into his seventies. However, use this as an indicator. It might be indicating something you may have a passion for in terms of career. Maybe something in graphic design, or animation, or game design. If you have a passion for a field, you will most likely succeed at it. Passion is the key to success.

Answer 4

No , cartoons are enjoyed by a wide variety of those who are mentally competent .

Answer 5

It's a myth. Adults do watch cartoons. But some don't like cartoons. I hope I helped :)

Answer 6

No. There is no such mental disorder. Watching cartoons is not a symptom of mental illness.
