When exactly did it become STANDARD of grown adults to play videogames and watch movies about cartoons?

When people were coddled for 3 generations and never had to endure hardships.
Then, someone fucked up the food.
Then someone fucked up the money.
Then by pure coincidence, the same people decided to infiltrate our lands with shitskins.
These people will one day pay for what they have done.
Who cares?
Nobody waggles their dick around like 'mature' people...

Video games became more nuanced, more engaging and told better stories. Game designers started incorporating more and more sinister psychological principles to keep adults ever playing.
Watching movies ABOUT cartoons? Why does anyone any documentary? To learn. Watching movies FEATURING cartoons, that's more nuanced. Animation, particularly 3D has become truly stunning and a feast for the eyes. Animation has grown outwards from it's appeal directly to children, to an experience 'the family can enjoy' and even darker such as 'Akira'.
Why did either video games and cartoons ever gain traction? People want the familiar - children have grown up with these for decades. They appeal to the same thing any other distraction does - to take one's mind off of life's hardships. In particular I feel murder in video games goes a long way to dull the fear of death in a very specific, NOT all encompassing way. To trivialize it makes it less scary.
The same time 4chan and internet anonymity came to be

As for when, I say it became STANDARD shortly after Pixar's Toy Story and Id Software's Doom.

not really, it's only because of the internet destroying the boundaries between childhood and adulthood. This wasn't the case with TV and console games with specific audiences, but it's the internet that blurs age groups
Because they grew up with them. Im sure before this people were saying "When exactly did it become STANDARD of grown adults to watch television and read tabloids".
And before that it was books.
thus giving birth to the nu-male

good point, don't forget how many old boomers still cling to shitty rock bands they liked as teenagers and then claim it's any more mature than video games

When decadence allowed it. People have no reason to become adults anymore, so they don't bother.
Who cares as long as there going work and paying their way.

When you started basing your worldview and understanding of others by extrapolating all your knowledge from the internet.
Any functional adult with a job and a social life knows that cartoons and video games are for losers with arrested development.
Go out into the world and you'll understand your fellow man better. It's not the same as what you see sitting on your ass online all day.
You might even learn something about your self senpai.

When women started being whores and the common man's desire to be a husband/father/"man of the house" ceased to exist.

What about The Simpsons, which appealed to everyone in what was once a children-only medium? I think that was the spark which started the flame, engulfing society after the internet, Toy Story, and Doom.

Birthrates.
but it's foolish to blame this shit as the main cause when it's clearly mostly due to parents simply not valuing family, the public school system (preventing younger marriage), and lack of hardship/survival requirements.
The average man in the past didn't do these things because they had some abstract noble vision of saving the white race, they did it because they had to to fucking survive.

not really true in some sectors such as the tech industry. It was really the PC and internet and all related technologies associated with "nerds" back in the 70s-80s which made it possible for people to be "losers with arrested development" and have successful jobs at the same time.
