Tiny mini-rant

[taimatsu]

A swift rant about something driving me nuts on and off at the moment.

Kittens. People. Two different things.

You are not a kitten. Your friends and social group are not kittens. Bisexuals are not kittens. Only kittens, young instances of the animal commonly called a cat, are, in fact, kittens. Please remember this. Thank you.

Good point kitten. All of us kittens agree with you. Meow.

Grow up, John. ;)

I grew up, it was rubbish, I had to run my own life and THINK about stuff and DEAL with issues and WORK to earn money. I'm being little again in my happy kittenland. It's much better.

You may be being less than entirely sincere, but you are still just proving my point.

And you mine. Being happy but faintly ridiculous versus having an 'I'm so grown up, this is beneath me' tantrum. I've made my choice...

I'm happy to be silly with the best of them, but this seems more to me like a consistent policy of dumbing-down, and it grates.
