I am sick of hearing idiotic adults saying "OMG, I don't like the style, it's for kids don't count!!!"

Now first, before anyone think, let me make something clear: "It's for kids" doesn't sound like an excuse for ignoring real legit flaws such as grammar issues, errors, plot holes, very bad graphics, etc.. Kids or not, it's always a good suggestion to improve such things.
UPDATE: I mean I'm not too sure. If it could fairly be a flaw still, that doesn't mean it's OK to force your opinion.. If something has a little flaw that has nothing to do with purpose (And if purpose didn't want this), then so what? To many people, they can still like it. UPDATE DONE - 1/22/2015

But there is something I am sick of. I've seen adults bash kids style and themes of things just because the adults don't like it. This isn't fair..
Seriously, I've seen people call BARNEY bad because it was a tamed down show.. Sure, kids and adults can enjoy cartoons or 'kid style' shows but that doesn't mean everything must be like that.
Plus, many adults like to see 'blood', 'sex', etc.. Are we saying that it's "better" to make make shows or movies have that too?

To be honest, I like "E rated" stuff more. Not this matured crap. In fact, thanks to the "It's for kids" purpose, there are so many good styles I like and I as an adult don't want it changed.. I am glad the Zelda series isn't matured.. That would fuck everything up. Many 'tamed down' purposes has made it enjoyable for many things.
Sure, they don't have to "weak" stuff in order for kids to enjoy but they don't have to make the adults happy to make them enjoy either.

My point is that if a style/theme/plot them/etc is meant for kids, then yes, it's an excuse. Just because the plot is 'G-Rated' or "predictable" doesn't mean it should be changed. Why? Because the artist/team didn't intend it. Otherwise it sounds like some selfish morons (aka the wrong audience) gets to decide what they want without counting any opinion of any kids.. or hell, even some other adults.

Yet, if "kids isn't an excuse" then "I SEEN IT BEFORZ" sure isn't either. Well, I don't think it counts depending on the purpose.

I remember writing something to a blog page. Let me add it here, but with some parts more bold than before. Some grammar might be fixed:

This is kind of unfair. Sometimes I mean.

Many adults CAN be extremely bias toward movies.
Some people called a story "weak" just because it was 'predictable' to them; that they have seen similar stuff in past (different) movies.

This is very bias because if a movie is meant to be predictable for new people then "it's for kids" IS an excuse because I find it extremely bias to compare a quality movie/show/etc it's self to a completely different movie/show/etc.
No matter what happened in other movies, the quality of a the current doesn't change.

It's for kids isn't an excuse for actual bad graphics and such, grammar, etc. (It would still be fair to at least point those out.) But adults who seen stuff in there own childhood before isn't either.
I mean, the quality of the "predictable" plot is exactly the same as the older movies and this was meant for new children who never seen it.. So for that, it's an excuse. Otherwise saying it's not is like saying the selfish wrong audience should get what they want and destroy it's main purpose.

Let me make a comparison:
Movie A 1999 had a certain plot
Movie B 2000 had a very similar plot to Movie A - But had a different style

Movie A had a target for new people (Often kids) who never seen the plot.
But movie B was targeted to newer people who never seen the similar plot. It was not intended to be for the adults who seen the earlier one. It was intended for new kids to enjoy it just like how the adults for Movie A got to enjoy it.

Both of the qualities of each of the movie was exactly the same on it's self.
The correct intended audience enjoyed it and praised it.
But then something odd happened: The Movie A fans bashed movie B. Why? Because the wrong audience compares it to a whole different movie (Movie A).
This sounds completely bias. As the main point of Movie B was for new people and that the quality on it's self was exactly the same.

Adults saying it now sucks based off a whole different thing is completely unfair and sounds very bias.

This is what I mean.

This is an old blog post, so I'm not sure if you will see this comment. But I hope you understand.
I believe people should respect purpose of styles and such and not let the wrong audience choose just because of there own memories involving other stuff.

That's what I wrote. One good critique improving should never compare a work to a whole different work just because some adults (or even kids) had certain memories.
It's not fair and serves no real value on the work it's self to use that as an excuse.

A "weak plot" should mean the content it's self. If a 'strong plot' was very predictable due to memories, does that make the plot it's self weak? How?
Strong vs Weak depends on the weapon it's self. It does not depend on a whole different weapon found in a whole different crafting workshop.
Depending on that sounds like an illusion.

Not all kids shows need to be for adults too, so not all need to be a masterpiece, but all should be a decent show. No excuse for bad writing or anything like that.
