What factors caused adults to remain childish well into adulthood?

I don't believe a single poster here isn't mentally stunted or deranged in some fashion.

humans in general seem to latch onto things they know from their childhood/young adulthood, it's the power of brands
basically, we're all fucking retarded

deep and true

if only our Jew masters beat us more, then we'd be more virtuous

Truth. Especially the ones who've been here over a decade.

LOL

Imagine getting this excited for the absolute turd that was Jurassic World.

except confidence, status, career, money and women.
all worthless when you have a large pepe collection instead

Jurassic World was objectively better than Jurassic Park
Funnier, bigger, and much better looking

You're here too, faggot

A mentally normal person would never use this site

Getting molested by at a young age

Primarily economic ones.

He’s clearly there with his girlfriend

Wrong on every level

> “Shoot her!”

You're going to grow up no matter what, the only difference is whether or not you become an emotionally stunted retard

I kinda want to buy these, is that childish?

I renounced adult life and became a neet after I saw the only stuff I would get from it was used up women, debt and a light form of slavery

the difference between a child and an adult is alcohol and drugs.

I'm a social recluse by choice but I don't get into the whole deranged, underaged retard act that 99% of this site indulges in. At this point its so unoriginal its barely a personality, its like a robotic input.

Go for it, flip-flops are inherently childish, you might as well double down.

Corporate America commodifying and commercializing childhood. Culture, religion, and social organization outside consumerism do not exist for the most part anymore.

Enablement. Never having to fight their own battles. Never finding themselves without porn or escapism. Never needing to explore new things or the world around them. It’s actually rather easy to confuse pleasure and positive reinforcement with the accomplishment of achieving your goals.

Notice that in both parts of the image, the two are unaccompanied by a father figure. There you have your answer.

I thought that that was his gf in the second image.

40 years ago anyone could get a job out of highschool that wpuld allow them to buy a house and support a family of five while taking vacations regularly. The only people who didn't achieve this were crazy people and drug addicts. You could also marry someone who had sex with less than 4 people.

None of those things are possible anymore. If you live with a women you both need to work just to make enough money for the two of you to live in a shitty apartment. All women are obese and used up now.

Why would anyone work for so little? You could just sit around all day and have the same lifestyle but with all your time being free.

Maybe, but in cartoons of eastern influence like this, those wrinkle marks on either side of the mouth signify age

I thought those were her eyes.

Not that user but I've acquired all of those things without being a normalfag or "real man" as some would say. You do know there are other paths to success other than the 9 to 5 grind right?

I think what hes getting at is that abandoning certain aspects of childhood for the sake of being a "real man" comes with no benefits. Its just a pointless status symbol. You can still get excited for the new marvel movie and not be less of a man.

I want to fuck a petite house wife with a doting son.

>You can still get excited for the new marvel movie and not be less of a man
I wholeheartedly disagree.

Honestly this. My time for pennies and no growth opportunities is a bullshit deal that I simply refuse to accept.

>childhood for the sake of being a "real man" comes with no benefits. Its just a pointless status symbol.
This is a pointless argument because most of the time, if you're interested in juvenile stuff as an adult it's usually a symptom of arrested development.

What vegetables you growing?

All those things are meaningless if youre not happy

>They weren't conscripted into a war where they had all the joy beaten out of them and replaced with trauma
And about the other 5000 years of human History? Didn't you study History in your country? I suspect you were born in the US.

Difference is that we are ashamed whereas these fags take pride in it.

wtf does being a real mean even mean?

>What factors caused adults to remain childish well into adulthood?
Liberty, education, more spare time, higher standards of living because of science and technology.

posting on Yea Forums, to start

Entertainment industry as a whole.
All the comfort you really need after a days hard labour is bible.

I have the truest take on it:
It's today's society and life-prolonging advancements expectancy.
What people previously did in 40-50 years, we are expected to do now in 80. Or rather wish it'll happen like that.
Be a child for the first 15-20 years
?????????? from 20 to 30 something
Have a stable job and family by 40-45.
We are spreading too thin something that we shouldn't, physical peak is still something like 25-35, anyone that does sports for a living knows this, at 40yo you are a dinosaur and start to underperform. The sport scene knows you don't have more time, even if we get to live to 150 years.
But we as a society treat this prolonged expectancy as "more time to do things".
We don't have it. YOU don't have it user.
Don't use the ??????? years as pre-retirement, then work and family, because you are going to hit your true retirement too fucking late user
That's whats happening today, people is pre-retiring for a decade.
I'm 51 and thank god I have started somewhat early.

>because most of the time
I agree there. But I could arbitrarily set what is juvenile on seemingly "adult" stuff. I think encouraging a healthy engagement with "juvenile stuff" is more important than shaming people for having no control on what they like.

Try harder

Anyone who spergs out over dinosaurs is a retard and we always laughed at the five tards who argued dinosaur tier lists on the playground after JP came out. I'm sure this board is full of people like that. It's sad that they haven't changed in almost 30 fucking years.

I want to fuck that mom

There's not gonna be retirement as a societal institution for us twenty somethings when we get there. Except maybe for free euthanasia.

They never experience the death of their ego

>I have never seen this reaction for Jurassic World
I was going absolutely apeshit in 2015 before Jurassic World came out. There was nothing I cared about more than that movie. I remember walking out of the theater after it came out just feeling drained. I wasn't excited, I wasn't happy. It was such a strange feeling to have. It finally clicked on my 2nd viewing.. Jurassic World was one of the biggest 'fuck yous' to an audience I had ever seen.
Here we are 7 years later and Jurassic World is the catalyst to the current state of Hollywood.. It proved if you provided enough nostalgia and great visual effects, you can shit all over your core audience and make a billion dollars.

Jurassic World was ground zero.

>retirement as a societal institution
I'm making my own retirement, I'm not even counting government.
But wasting your most able years because government isn't going to give you free stuff later is insane, user.
Put your young body to work. Sign for work overseas. For any kind of work on a port. Entry level shit that you think could be "hard" on your body now, will be impossible on your 30 somethings, 40s.
Best plan is to amass wealth, and retire on your own, government retirement is a bonus
