Why do boomers like the minions so much?

It is a well-known fact that boomers like to upload minion pictures on their social media accounts. How come this is? The Minions aren't even from their childhood.

    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.

      They don’t remind me of my children.

    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.

    • But why, of all things, do they like these particular characters?

        Overalls? Overalls are utilitarian and what they are used to.

        Are you honestly believing boomers are dressing based on a fictional charicters dress?

          Literally no one has said anything about dressing like fictional characters. The fuck is wrong with your comprehension that you think OP is making that claim?

          • Maybe he confused "of all" with "overalls" while he was reading it? Seems like something I'd do in face to face talking

              If he wasn't such a moronic douche, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, but he always, always, always, fucks up and then doubles down on the dumbfuckery soo...

              No leniency.

        We like lots of cute characters, these are just the cutest. I can’t understand anyone not liking them.
