That's not true at all. My dad loves watching cartoons, and I don't think it's lame or "uncool" at all. In fact, it's one of the many ways we hang out together. I fully intend on being a parent that will continue to watch cartoons, and I'm pretty sure because I watch it then, will not make it uncool.
However, I will draw the line at fat fourty-year-old men dressing up as Sailor Moon. That's just scary.
Check yo' facts!
And chill out. If you're a true hardcore fan, you should be able to laugh about the fandom too. Take Twilight for example. I loved the books and certainly got irked when people criticized it before reading it themselves, but that doesn't mean I'm going to scream in their face and beat them with a baseball bat in walmart or something stupid like that. In fact, I mock the living crap out of Twilight. I think Edward's a freaking creep, but I still love the story.
