Why do boomers like the minions so much?

Minions are small, cute and playful and remind them of when their children were young. It’s not a coincidence that most minions fans are women, they pull on their maternal heartstrings. I suppose a comparison could be drawn to bronies, in that the original target audience was children but the biggest fans turned out to be adults.

I was 14 when Despicable Me came out and I thought the minions were great with their weird made up language and how their seeming indestructibility afforded them the opportunity to be complete knobs to each-other. But now boomers have stolen my right to like the minions, shed a tear for me O IIN brothers.

Not a boomer, but my mom is and neither of us knew this to be a well known fact, but we'll take your word for it and since I didn't know about it I couldn't tell you why. I'd personally like to know why people in older generations forward so many emails?

Minions have a soulless and mutated look to them, and are removed from humanity. This appeals to the boomer as a soulless misanthrope who is drawn to this abomination because of its demonic characteristics, thanks to years of cia brainwashing on the television.

I'm a so called 'boomer' abd I don't. The only pictures I upload/download are pictures of animals or my celebrity crush.

They are cute and make you smile. No other reason needed.

Boomers are boomers I guess, they can like anything they want no matter the age.
