Childhood is when you idolize L. Adulthood is when you realize

Adulthood is not making this stupid fucking thread all the time.

Death note is a slightly above average series which has gained popularity through its use of fujobait, which is why a significant portions of its fans are female. This may have contributed to the rise of emos and female edgelords in the USA around the time of its release. Furthermore, with people feeling disenfranchised with George Bush, the death themes in Death Note only worked to increase the unease in people's minds in a time of war against terrorism. In short, Death Note takes place inside the mind of a teenage girl with daddy issues and scared of the Tusken Raiders from Star Wars.
