Right. I'll start a TRS discussion as soon there's enough room for a new one.

I see a few of DeMotivationalPosters on Deviant Art regarding various formulae from Pokemon taken from Bulbapedia articles. Perhaps one of the more complex formulas, taken directly, with a caption of: Coming Soon to a fictional blackboard near you*

Alternately, I'm sure we can find something from the Anime that can qualify (as its target demographic is the lowest amongst the franchise, apart from certain Spin-off games).

I suppose I should save this for the TRS, but...

I was thinking we could split this into two pages: One in which questionable works are marketed to children (which would keep the name WDYMIFK) and another which follows the actual trope here (which would either become a new page or listed as a new variety of Fan Dumb).

Wait. I thought the opposite of What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids? WAS a grown up thinking a work for kids was not for kids.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

The opposite of WDYMINFK is the first trope I described in my previous post.

That seems odd. Since What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids? is a reaction (thinking a work is for kids when it isn't), then logically the opposite should also be a reaction (thinking a work is not for kids when it is).
