In the thread at the center of this story, commenters go after everything from Mickey ears to castle selfies, and the reactions swing from mocking to defensive. It is a familiar internet fight, but the tone makes this one stand out.

Read on to see how the conversation unfolded.

According to this tweet, something needs to "be done" about Disney adults

For some people, being a Disney adult is embarrassing beyond belief. A Disney adult is someone who is obsessed with the company, buying limited-edition products like popcorn buckets and mouse ears as soon as they are released, posting selfies at Cinderella's Castle and the Purple Wall, all while wearing rose-gold mouse ears.

If you identify as a Disney fan as an adult, you are essentially admitting that you are an uncritical bubblehead who is ensconced in your privilege, suspended in a state of perpetual adolescence, and who was fed a diet of wasp-waisted princesses, talking animals, and dancing candelabras, while refusing to acknowledge the sobering truth that dreams don't actually come true.

With the amount of entertainment that Disney brings to our screens and considering how long they've lasted, it's no surprise that there are adults who are still huge fans of the company. Disney has been a part of our childhoods, and some of us still grow up with that Disney fantasy in our minds.
