look, here’s the thing: alice in wonderland’s enduring fucking charm is that
it perfectly captures the vibe of being a very tired and annoyed child who
is nonetheless required to play along with adult nonsense.

alice is dragged from place to place without warning, forced to play stupid
games with no good prizes, grilled over her schooling and manners and
recitation and dress, scolded, judged, insulted to her face, sent away,
given gifts she didn’t ask for and doesn’t like, corrected incorrectly, been
subject to shifting and arbitrary rules, and then when she gets snappish
with all this bullshit everyone acts like a little girl’s temper is the end of the
fucking world.

alice in wonderland isn’t a drug trip or a nightmare or a metaphor, that’s
just what being ten years old is LIKE. that’s why kids love it so much. even
if they can’t quite articulate how, they recognize themselves in it.

As a middle-aged man I still identify with Alice in Wonderlands "required to play along with adult nonsense" 🤔

I'd like to suggest the subtitle: "10-years-old and already sick of your bullshit." 😂
