The Fun Police really misinterpreted this. This is not saying anything about how good or bad LD is. I was just expecting something more like what TAS was to TOS. Other than the fact that TAS episodes were half the length and that the animated nature allowed them to afford to depict more exotic things like underwater scenes and six-limbed bridge crew members, TOS/TAS were mostly the same. They had roughly the same degree of adventure, philosophy, humor, etc. On the other hand, LD targeted a different audience by focusing on qualities that had not been prioritized in any earlier series. I was just disappointed by how different LD is from TAS.

    Similarly, Steam has some option about “adult only games” that doesn’t seem to mean “you don’t have to keep asking me my birthday for ‘grim’ games”, i.e. games you have to verify you’re an adult to see, instead it seems to mean “show me porn games”.

    This kind of bowdlerised English or whatever it’s called is usually weird and confusing to us non-natives. Like, it’s apparently OK to have the puerile stuff, you just can’t be normal about it?

    “Adult” doesn’t imply genital stuff to the rest of us, USA.
