honestly i think my biggest pet peeve bar none, especially when it comes to talking about media and social media, is when ppl who clearly spend a minimal amount of time around kids (particularly little time listening to how they talk to each other and to adults they actually trust) critique something by adamantly asserting that kids of a certain age group 'wouldn't talk like that/say things that complex' when they absolutely fucking would and youd know this, if, again, you knew kids at all

#like yes there ARE tons of things where its plain that kids of that age wouldn't talk like that #but kids. are often pretty fully realized communicators in whatever method comes naturally to them from a pretty early age #and there are so many of these assertions that really underestimate uh. the fact that kids know how to talk.#im on this for EXTREMELY petty reasons bc i stumbled across a post on reddit being like #'the narration of animorphs is unbelievable bc 13/14 year olds could never talk/think like this'#what the fuck are you on? have you ever actually talked to a 13 year old?
