Talk:Age Confusion

Delete

I'm with anonny on this one. The concept is too vague and at least partially covered in Ages of Characters. And, frankly, of the three examples on the page, none really strike me as "confusion" of any sort (the best I can say is the word "kids" in the slumber party example, if you take it too literally). If you really wanted to keep this page, L.U.R.N. would be far and away a better example than any of these, as would Marzipan's letter in A Decemberween Mackerel. --Jay (Talk) 02:28, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

this is covered in ages of characters. -166.137.252.119 17:26, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

I'm neutral about this page's existence. I disagree with the statement that it's covered in Ages of Characters — that page is about the broad subject of the characters' ages, while this is specifically about characters thinking they are younger or older than they really are, similar to Gender Confusion or Identity Confusion. But I wouldn't object to its deletion either. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 23:55, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Well, if you're putting it that way, then I'd add entries like how Reynold is treated like a child in Commandos in the Classroom and only drinks Warm Jenkins in Decemberween Dangeresque. Or how Coach Z goes to juvenile prison in Play Date and is tried as a minor in Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2. Or how Strong Mad acts throughout Play Date. Or how the King of Town acts like a defiant teenager in I Killed Pom Pom. Basically, any time one of the grown-ups suddenly starts acting like a child for humor's sake. I wouldn't know much about kids pretending to be adults since there aren't many children in these cartoons. -- 68.37.43.131 22:44, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

I still say delete. Just because someone acts childish doesn’t mean they are confused about how old they are. -174.62.238.201 00:23, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Merge with AoC (no, not the game that is most definitely not abbreviated as that). RickTommy (edits) 12:56, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

This is a notable subject, and there are so many examples, with more and more being added every day. So I'm changing my vote to a definitive keep. This is different enough from AoC to merit its own article. Gfdgsgxgzgdrc 06:04, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

I fail to see how it's possible to confuse the age of characters that don't have established ages, a fact that is already sufficiently covered on Ages of Characters. Seems to me that anything put on this page would necessarily be either duplicating that page or forming its conclusion based on an assumed age for a character and therefore in direct contradiction with AoC and based wholly on speculation. Definite delete from me. — Defender1031*Talk 07:02, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
