Periphery Demographic	comment	A notable bunch of audience members outside of the intended (i.e., marketed) demographic. Western Animation has arguably been interwoven with this idea for most of its existence, and for a lot of reasons. First, the vast majority of what is produced is aimed at children and families. Second, despite more and more animation for older audiences being created, the only genre really represented is comedy (and usually of a darker, raunchier nature). And third, there's still a severe lack of Western cartoons specifically directed towards teenagers. As a result of all this, unless they only want to partake in the occasional independent film here and there, fans of the medium are guaranteed to find themselves watching a lot of content that isn't geared towards them (but probably has enough Parental Bonuses and good writing to make up for that). Another very noticeable instance of this occurs in the anime fansub community. Digital recorders/encoders, which effectively remove the timeslot and language constraints to a program, make it accessible to anyone, and the series audience is largely drawn only by the perceived quality of the show itself as opposed to any marketing. Divorced from judgement-affecting advertising, a show packed with girls may be enough like "a show packed with girls" that the same fan will find themselves watching both, barely aware that said shows have wildly different target audiences. This likewise holds with male characters, who are often deliberately drawn as pretty boys in order to attract fangirls who were reading similar stories anyway (e.g., Bishōnen Jump Syndrome, because Shonen Jump was infamous for it). Sometimes this is taken a step further and you get a cleansed rough adaptation of the premise marketed directly to them. It is also common for a popular franchise that is marketed towards children to gain an older fanbase if it's been around for a while; many of these older fans enjoyed it when they were young and simply never outgrew it. The companies making such shows may give little nods to the older fans (and sometimes even make new installments that cater exclusively to older fans). Some fans, perhaps because of these nods, seem not to realize that these popular kids' series are still made mainly for kids, and that doesn't change just because the older viewers are not kids anymore. Unfortunately, fans like these may cause negative stereotypes about nerd fanbases. See also Entertainment Below Their Age. In another example that is similar to the above one, while the show might be targeted towards young boys or girls, those who are older and/or of the opposite sex may enjoy it instead and it may generate a large fandom (AHEM!), just to give one right off the bat as one of the more recent exaggerated examples of this occurring with a kids show. Going in the opposite direction, a periphery demographic that is ''younger'' than the target demographic may arise from the fact that children and teenagers are liable to view media classifications as more a challenge than the warnings/suggestions they are. After all, engaging in media intended for mature audiences (like First-Person Shooter and Wide-Open Sandbox games) means that they can be considered mature themselves, right? Can also be due to many demographics simply having wider ranges of interest than they're given credit for. Series with strong marketing sense usually profit from being at least slightly aware of these fans, if not outright cultivating the work's newfound Multiple Demographic Appeal. Unfortunately, this creates the danger of an annoying Periphery Demographic being viewed as a Misaimed Fandom, if not outright Fan Dumb. Also, some fans within a show's main demographic may consider the work in question a Guilty Pleasure. When the Periphery Demographic is in another country, then you've got Germans Love David Hasselhoff. For a specific type of Periphery Demographic, see Estrogen Brigade, Testosterone Brigade, LGBT Fanbase, Popular with Furries. If a fandom forms around media that was not intended for entertainment purposes in the first place, it's Fun for Some. Compare Misaimed Fandom and Just Here for Godzilla. Contrast Periphery Hatedom.

Periphery Demographic / int_14f9297e	comment	Following one cartoon that involved a female chimp accusing a male chimp of "hanging around with that Goodall tramp", Larson got a bunch of hate-mail from people who resented the implication on Jane Goodall's behalf — and a letter from Goodall herself, telling him that she thought the cartoon was hilarious and that she was honored to have been featured. Goodall, who was a long-time fan of The Far Side, enjoyed the cartoon so much that she invited Larson to her nature reserve in Tanzania and wrote the preface for a collection of Far Side comics that included the cartoon. Her institute also recently began selling a T-shirt with that same cartoon on it. And in the first known instance of interspecies Periphery Hatedom, Frodo, Goodall's alpha male chimp, proceeded to beat the snot out of poor Gary Larson. Jane Goodall recounted the experience in the above preface.

However, in Poland, Maya the Bee is so popular that a Polish singing group called "Akcent" made a song about Maya and her friends. The group would commonly play this song at popular teenage/adults clubs in Poland. As a result, the Maya the Bee franchise has a very dedicated adult fanbase in that country. The German version of the theme song, sung by Czech crooner Karel Gott, was also very popular. On Bavarian TV you could see a variety shows with adult and elderly people with party hats unironically dancing to the tune, sung by Gott himself.

It's the compression and expansion of the longitudinal waves that appeals to him. And the colors. Millhouse is a big fan of the Teletubbies and was shown to own some of their products. Moe gets choked up when reading Little Women at the homeless shelter.

Adult coloring books have been introduced in response: some of them feature highly complex designs and/or family-unfriendly subject matter, but others are roughly the same as the ones for kids, just with text saying "adult coloring book" slapped onto the cover. Some adult coloring books are even based on properties which themselves fall into this trope, such as My Little Pony (mentioned in the "Toys" section).

Different covers were created specifically to market the books toward adults. However, author JK Rowling designed the series specifically to avoid alienating fans who had grown up by the time it was completed. Each book grows progressively more mature, "growing up" with the reader.

This is because no matter what you're watching, there will be at least a small amount of elderly people among its audience, but not so small that advertising to them is meaningless. The prevailing method of them finding a show is by stumbling across it looking for something to watch, so whatever show you're watching, there have been at least a few elderly people who found it by chance and happened to like it enough to keep watching. Contrary to stereotypes about old people and television, these elderly people actually are paying attention to the show and understanding it, meaning Grandma may be the household's expert on Attack on Titan or Orange Is the New Black.

In Germany the Disney Ducks (or at least Lustiges Taschenbuch) are popular with many demographics. This is due to the way comic book writing is handled there. Anyone could write for the comic series, with almost no rules as to what the content should be. This is why you could get some very traditional kiddy fare coupled with detective stories, romance, superhero stories and detailed metafictional stories about the economy in the same comic compilation (though the stories in general would have the same protagonist).

Periphery Demographic / int_6fe3e8a7	comment	Neopets is a very odd case, thanks to Audience Shift and changes in management; although the site originated for college kids, the eponymous Ridiculously Cute Critters attracted a Periphery Demographic of kids, and the site became Lighter and Softer as a result. This wasn't a bad thing, as TNT still included a fair amount of material intended to appeal to adults, but after Viacom started meddling, the site became more focused to the kids and started neglecting the older fans, who had become a periphery demographic, and loyalists who started playing as kids but remained on the site through their teens. However, TNT started interacting with the new periphery demographic of older fans by setting up a facebook page, and the site's plot event "The Faeries' Ruin" did a great job of winning back older fans. Not only that, but said older fans are the ones who play the most on the site. They're the writers for the Neopian Times, the most avid participants in plots and other major events, the ones running the fancier user-created shops in the Marketplace, and generally the ones who don't get bored and leave after a few months. TNT has been left in the position of eternally trying to reach a happy medium between appeasing the "preteen girl" fans who only want cute things, the "tween boy" fanbase who just like the games, and the older fans who love writing for the Neopian Times and Poetry Gallery, drawing for the Art Gallery and Beauty Contest, and participating in plots.

Periphery Demographic / int_755c9804	comment	In the world of toys, there's LEGO. While the iconic building bricks are marketed to kids, there's a number of adults who make a hobby of them as well. LEGO has seemed to thoroughly embrace this demographic; scale LEGO models and the people who design and build them are showcased in the Legoland theme parks, and there's a downloadable program for home model design and purchase. And then there's the LEGO themes with nostalgia value, like LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Indiana Jones. Even the in-house BIONICLE line has its own Periphery Demographic. And then there's a host of online webcomics using LEGO, such as Irregular Webcomic!. LEGO itself may be a sort of double-inversion, as the toys were originally intended as architectural tools to allow, well, architects to rough out a model of a prospective building in 3D in a rapid and efficient manner. To this day they're still used as this, and LEGO has even spun-off a corporate consulting division which uses LEGO bricks to help solve problems in similar ways. This went full circle when LEGO started its Architecture line, LEGO sets for architecturally famous buildings. Being an adult also has its advantages. For one thing, it's actually affordable to you, and adults have the skills to engineer much more complex sets (check out the author's creations here at Reasonably Clever, home of the famous LEGO Minimizer). LEGO Mindworks has become popular as of late with early robotics engineering prototyping, lower level university mechanical engineering courses, and AI with robots (which hack out the default Mindworks instruction system for something more suitable like ROS). If that wasn't enough, The LEGO Movie actually made this a plot point, and features an adult buying LEGO sets clearly annoyed at the age suggestion on the box. They also do Shout Outs to BIONICLE and Fabuland, two sets that ended before most kids nowadays were born. Appropriately enough, The LEGO Movie was, like the toys, marketed toward children but had a big enough impact on adults that there was a backlash when it failed to get an Oscar nomination.

Periphery Demographic / int_8125b468	comment	Batman: Despite the comic's chiefly male readership (and target demo), Dick Grayson/Nightwing is well known as a draw to the series for women, and sales figures for his stand-alone title reflect this. While some suspect it's because he's cute, others have suggested the appeal might have something to do with his role as Batman's supportive partner and his struggle to determine his identity outside of that role. Jason Todd, too: he's a Darker and Edgier Pretty Boy with daddy issues (and many others) and was voiced by Jensen Ackles in his animated movie. Really, all the Robins have a large female fanbase. Harley Quinn managed to become one of the biggest Ensemble Darkhorses in the DC Universe, in large part, because she turned out to be far more popular among women than her creators ever anticipated—despite first appearing in a TV show aimed mainly at boys. While most people liked her for being the Joker's Affably Evil Perky Female Minion with all of his humor but none of his evil, many women sympathized with her because they recognized her as a battered victim of domestic abuse corrupted by the influence of her boyfriend. Her appeal just got stronger when she migrated to the comics, and eventually did end up becoming independent from the Joker. Ever since then, her fans have celebrated her as a symbol of female empowerment. The BDSM community is likely the only place on Earth where the Joker is considered a supporting character to Harley Quinn.

While the creators have joked that it's because they're supposedly nerdsnote As per Geoff Ramsey: "I think girls end up fans of the site because of our sex appeal. Each one of us is 30 pounds overweight and we're all balding, so we've got a lot to offer the ladies!", the general consensus seems to be that truly great comedy transcends all boundaries, and having the sole female character for the first five seasons — Tex — also be the only actual badass just helped further this trope take root. Later seasons further aided by having continuously improved the show's writing and representation regarding women, which has also happened to coincide with the existence of women in "geek culture" in general becoming less marginalized and dismissed. The second case happened in that a lot of RWBY fans, especially those within the YouTube reaction/reviewer community, have discovered Red vs. Blue on the off-season when they still needed content to react to/review. Both might be Rooster Teeth productions, but they couldn't be any more different (one is a comedic Machinima based on Halo featuring copious swearing, the other an Animesque Magical Girl cartoon that mostly takes itself seriously)!

These started out as middle-aged women whose children found interst in the brand and expanded to those with either children outside of the target age or no children of their own. However the larger demographic now are millenials who grew up with the brand and never grew out of it. There are at least three popular adult collector forums (with thousands of members each) and most of the secondary market is fueled by demand from adult collectors. American Girl has even given some nods with older classic looks and designs.

While some suspect it's because he's cute, others have suggested the appeal might have something to do with his role as Batman's supportive partner and his struggle to determine his identity outside of that role. Jason Todd, too: he's a Darker and Edgier Pretty Boy with daddy issues (and many others) and was voiced by Jensen Ackles in his animated movie. Really, all the Robins have a large female fanbase.

The banter between Tim and his assistant Al along with regular Doom It Yourself disasters earned the show a following among people who normally don't watch home repair shows, with a Running Gag that anyone who recognizes Tim from the show really like Al. Tim also sometimes overhypes on who, exactly, is watching the show and was concerned his teenage sons were getting bothered at school by peers asking questions about recent special event projects. As Tim is hoping to go into Syndication in different regions, his boss said that Al's popularity actually skewed towards older women and not the target audience more likely to buy their tools. Tim had to fight to keep Al because their dynamic made the show work overall. Heidi, the Ms. Fanservice Tool Girl, scored higher than Santa Claus. One episode focused on Tim creating a special episode to sell the show to a Swedish channel that expressed interest, creating their first foreign language dub.

Periphery Demographic / int_b873722c	comment	The Rush Duel spin-off of Yu-Gi-Oh! was meant as a way to make Yu-Gi-Oh! appeal to a new generation in a way that the OCG just didn't anymore. It features an eye-catching and minimalist new card layout and a highly simplified and less restrictive ruleset compared to conventional Yu-Gi-Oh!. However, it quickly caught the favor of many adults in Asia and also became fairly popular among Western adults despite not being released in any official capacity there until December 2021. This was due to the incentive for Konami to be far more conservative in their game design decisions since presumably the small children Rush Duels are aimed at don't have bottomless wallets like their adult counterparts. Konami eventually decided to acknowledge Rush Duels' adult fanbase by expanding the "Legend Card" mechanic. Initially, Legend Cards were exclusively iconic cards from the iconic 2000 anime adaptation of the original manga to appeal to the children, but eventually they started including cards that only adults who played the OCG during the Early 2000's would recognize such as "The Creator", "Levia Dragon - Daedalus", and "Millennium Shield". The original TCG fell to this as well, initially being aimed at the audience of kids that followed the anime/manga, but quickly gaining a large playerbase of adults. The introduction of Rush Duels and the anime series switching its focus to that was basically an admission by Konami that the TCG had become a game for grown-ups.

While most people liked her for being the Joker's Affably Evil Perky Female Minion with all of his humor but none of his evil, many women sympathized with her because they recognized her as a battered victim of domestic abuse corrupted by the influence of her boyfriend. Her appeal just got stronger when she migrated to the comics, and eventually did end up becoming independent from the Joker. Ever since then, her fans have celebrated her as a symbol of female empowerment. The BDSM community is likely the only place on Earth where the Joker is considered a supporting character to Harley Quinn.

Periphery Demographic / int_c4282b71	comment	What truly catapulted the notion of "older My Little Pony fans" into the spotlight was when My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic developed the rather unexpected "brony" fandom almost instantly upon its premiere. These older fans praise the cartoon for many reasons, ranging from quality animation, to well-developed characters, to its numerous pop culture references, and even the domination of the internet by pony memes. Much of the fandom for this show built its foundations on the internet, and many view the episodes on assorted video sites and livestreams, or download them via torrents. Some chose to support Hasbro's show with their hard earned cash to make up for their effective piracy of the show. Others genuinely are into it for collecting. Regardless of the reasons though, a significant number of these brony fans took to browsing the pink aisle in their local department stores. At the show's peak, there were roughly 10 million bronies in the United States alone, massively outnumbering the intended demographic. All of this led to bronies causing the franchise, and that show in particular, to become a particularly famous example of this trope.

Many on the internet speculate that if Jacob and Edward had been the couple of the series instead, it would've been far more interesting. Or Alice and Bella. Ironically, and in seeming direct opposition to the above, the series has a very receptive audience among conservative/fundamentalist Christians in the United States, (especially the Church of Latter-Day Saints, of which Stephanie Meyer is a member), not exactly the typical demographic for teen paranormal romance, because they appreciate the conservative religious messages about sex and marriage that the series promotes.

Periphery Demographic / int_d31cdea	comment	The Hunger Games is an interesting example of what happens when you ignore the periphery demographic. Marketed as a gritty dystopia, its romantic subplot attracted a large number of young female fans (particularly after Stephenie Meyer endorsed the series.) When the final book dropped most of the romance to focus in on the dystopian elements, fans still bought it — they just complained about it on the internet. Now the franchise's female fan base is much larger than its male one.

Presumably thanks to the presence of Benedict Cumberbatch in the cast (as well as the program being good enough to sustain a devoted following), the show has attracted quite a fandom on the notably international, all-comers, young people jamboree that is Tumblr.

This can be attributed almost entirely to the fact that the comics are both A) excellently written, and B) fun. Readers wanting an escape from the Romantic Plot Tumors and Anyone Can Die mentalities of the 616 and Ultimate continuities are also a factor here.

Warriors has a large following amongst artists thanks to its simple character designs — if you can draw one cat, you can draw most of the literal hundreds of canon characters by drawing that same cat in different sizes and colors, and the naming system used for most characters makes coming up with valid names for fan characters easy. There's a disproportionately large group of fan-artists and fan-animators amongst the fandom, to the point that it serves as a common Gateway Series for online animation communities.

The characters, grouped into families, are woodland creatures such as rabbits, foxes and bears. They remain a quintessential part of the 1990s boom in craze (or fad) toys. Most of its adult fanbase either consists of nostalgic adults who grew up with the toys when they were kids in the 80s and 90s, or are collectors looking to keep the legacy of Sylvanian Families alive. Other fans outside of the target demographic include furries.

Periphery Demographic / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers is the absolute king of this. About 10%â€“20% of toys are sold to adult collectors. Hasbro and Takara Tomy are only too pleased to appeal to these people, with homage-tastic toys, G1-centric comics, and general love. Plus, we have Transformers: Animated, master of the Mythology Gag and much loved among fans for its own merits. This relationship is inverted with the live-action movies: though primarily aimed towards older teenagers and adults (what with all the gratuitous swearing, violence and Mythology Gags), the movies are more unanimously popular among children than among adults, resulting in a fair bit of Misaimed Marketing. Despite being marketed as 'boy's toys' in the '80s, there is a noticeable demographic of older female fans who first got into the Transformers series in its earliest era and continued on with the franchise through the years.
