Man, you really don't like kids, do you? What developmentally-average 12 year old do you know that wouldn't feel embarrassed at a Chuck E Cheese? Do you think there's really no room for a transitional period between that and fetish-drinking-parties?
We all live in the real world. Kids aren't alien or subhuman larva. They're just people at a different developmental point. They have just as much a need for recreation and "cutting loose" as adults. Sure, kids have things to do (in many places). So do adults, and to me, it seems like the pool of "kid stuff" is shrinking. Fewer kid-friendly games have been made since like, 2010. My Little Pony markets to adults and has to include enough "grownup humor" to let bronies justify their interest to relatives.
Your same logic could be turned back around--if seeing a teenie bopper having fun harshes your vibe so much, why don't you go to one of the 18+ only conventions?
