"It's made for kids" phrase

"It's made for kids" is an excuse often used to dismiss criticism towards entertainment made for younger audiences.

Background
It is well known that kids are easier to entertain by simpler things that grownups may find stupid or boring at first. Likewise, kids are unlikely to understand more highly complicated and mature media. Because of that, media targeted at younger audiences tend to be simpler than media targeted at an older audience, but that doesn't mean that kids media should be too simplistic, realistic, and basic.

Often when people criticize kids media for either poor quality, short length, cheap comedy, or anything else they don't like, some people might say that "it's made for kids" as an excuse for doing so. Sure, it may be made for kids, but that shouldn't be a good enough excuse for making poor-quality, effortless, and excessively kid-friendly media that teens and grownups will find stupid or boring. This excuse also makes kids look like idiots with no real taste who will like anything aimed at them, which isn't actually true. Kids are actually smarter than they're given credit for.

On the other hand, some older people dismiss media targeted at young audiences as "kiddie media." Just because it's made for kids doesn't mean teenagers and grownups can't like them or won't find challenge and substance in them. If it's made well enough, anyone of any age can enjoy.

There is no excuse for making poorly-made kids media.

Why It's Generic

 * 1) This is just a way for critics and parents to dismiss criticism towards people who criticize terrible kids media. By dismissing criticism, the quality of kids media may never improve.
 * 2) By pointing out the flaws in kids media, that can leave improvement and ensure that more kids media can be made to be enjoyed by grownups as well.
 * 3) It's possible for kids to like media that aren't made for them.
 * 4) Would you buy a faulty crib just because "it's made for kids?" Would you buy a broken baby seat just because "it's made for kids?" Would you buy a drink mix with tons of toxic chemicals just because "it's made for kids?"
 * 5) The whole excuse makes kids look like idiots with no real taste who will like anything aimed at them, which isn't actually true. Kids are actually smarter than they're given credit for.
 * 6) *In fact, most niche audience shows that are considered a bad enforcement with this excuse once cluttered the wiki in the past, before they were temporarily removed here and once attempted to move to the planned Terrible Niche Audience Shows Wiki, but that wiki closed due to inactivity. As of recent, some niche audience shows have since came back to the wiki.
 * 7) The only thing this excuse encourages kids to do is to stoop to a low level, always ignore the parents and not listen.
