There's this pervasive idea that adults who like things that are seen as 'for kids' are inherently creepy and dangerous, and I can't get away from how this is essentially ableism (particularly anti-neurodivergent ableism) disguised as faux 'concern'.
And you know what, other than it just being annoying and hurtful to see this relentlessly, this is also something that can get people hurt (and could be particularly dangerous for neurodivergent BIPoC, who are more likely to be seen as a 'threat' due to systemic racism).
This has been interpreted as a fandom thing, when actually it was a tweet with over 20k likes going 'adults who like Disney are creepy'.

This isn't about dickheads flooding tags with NSFW, this is about the idea that if what you like isn't 'adult' enough, you're a predator.
This is about judging people by what they like, rather than what they do. An adult posting porn in the tags of a show predominantly watched by kids, and therefore searched for by kids, IS inherently a creep. An adult who gets excited about Disneyland? Not inherently a creep.
An adult getting 20k likes on a tweet about how adult Disney fans are 'creepy' IS faux concern. It's not about keeping kids' spaces safe, it's about cringe culture and policing people's joy. Let people like their shit, and call them out on their actually creepy behaviour.
Also no, being a geek or an adult fan of a kids' show does not make you inherently oppressed either, so get the fuck out of here.
Talking about how neurodivergent behaviours are often wrongly labelled as creepy or predatory, and how this gets people hurt, isn't mutually exclusive to talking about actual creeps and predators in these spaces - both of these things are and must be part of the conversation.
Because honestly, neurodivergent people are often way more vulnerable to being victims of creepy and predatory behaviour, and that's why it's important to have these conversations on both levels.
