I know this is probably a stupid question but why are they so fixated on children’s shit, be it video games aimed at children, films/TV aimed at children and books aimed at children/young adults?

Because they never grew up. That and it's probably easier to groom kids if you have an interest in common...

This, it's very childish to care whether or not a cartoon squid character in a video game identifies as a girl or not. Nobody gives a fuck.

What's rediculous to me about these things is that when these people talk about how much visibility and representation are important to them, they go on about cartoons and fantasy shit like this, as if androgynous or gender neutral characters haven't existed in fiction before, and as if a fictional depiction of a cartoon non human character in a fantasy setting is at all relevant to anything in real life. It would be like otherkin getting pissed off about warewolf representation. Or Emos getting mad that a character identifies as goth.
