The definition being used seems to be the same one that young boys use when they distinguish that all red toys are girly and as such pretend to be allergic to them to seem more manly, @OP I don't think that judging a book by it's cover is a great sign of being more mature or grown up, sure if you just enjoy games to be dark and gritty a la gears of war and such, that's fine, but like others mentioned in the thread I feel for you having missed out on some fantastic experiences simply because of the vessel they arrived in.

Could I ask does this also extend to movies? Do you also avoid watching films if they are animated simply because they are animated again and nothing to do with the story being told, have you seen Toy Story, Iron Giant, Lilo and Stitch etc. or would you think they all have nothing to offer you as a "grown up"?

Yep, I agree. I went through the same stage in my life, I refused to play cartoony games because they're childish (stupid 18-years old me) but it was a "kiddie cartoony" game which brought back to gaming again after being tired of it(Super Mario 3D World). I was so wowed that I've never gone through the same process again. I'm happy to enjoy every type of experience I think it's "good" for me. Good is the word, not kiddie, mature, or whatever. I enjoy good things XD.
