So...
If 13 year old are adults and 30 year old are kids, does that mean the grandpas and grandmas all act like babies?

More important, are there adult molesters? Are there really total low life scum who are grandparent molesters?

This calls for a Very Special Episode.

Implying GA wasn't fucked up to begin with - it's utterly horrifying just how ignorant Enter even is about the total distopia he's convinced himself is a perfect world (for him and him alone, of course) that adults are sent to effective lobotomy facilities to ensure their minds remain chilidlike and a total drain on resources before they're even in their thirties.

I can't help but wonder if Enter staunchly refuses to watch things like KND because by and large, those shows do exactly what GA does in terms of the smart kids / moron adults (or Father, who is basically a self-immolating manchild), but even with the near-constant omnipotence, the immaturity of the children undoes their constant superior advantages and aside from Father every major "bad" adult actually isn't totally fucking evil - the whole show is just a humorously absurd take on real life aspects of childhood where the kids are a far more organized version of the WH40K Orks and the adults...uh, some kind of child-hating version of the Tau, probably, I dunno?

Point is, even with the kind of idealized setting Enter dreams of, those shows reflect the realities of real life because the adults are never fully removed from power - they can't be removed from power. Doing so would destroy civilization and the KND unconscionably do know this, they just exist to keep the adults in check, which is what Enter doesn't want in GA.

@Optimus Prime: I actually have no idea how the hell adults and kids' roles are switched in this damned thing. He's said he wants the kids to act like children and the adults to act like adults.

KND was not straight "kids rule, adults suck" crap; as you mentioned, it didn't take that idea seriously - it was played for comedy. This, however, takes it seriously and then some. In fact, that's probably the utter major problem with this whole idea.
