No, of course not. Is that what you think people are referring to when they suggest you consider the difference between YA literature and literature intended for adults?
But it is. It is, quite clearly, literature intended for adults. It may be more smut and less Moby Dick, but it's not by any means written for children.
And, funnily enough, it also represents the same kind of mindless entertainment people refer to when criticizing YA books.
It's not Hemingway or Twain, but wait, didn't we read them in High School too?
In the most pedantic and literal interpretation possible, yes.
But the adult alternative to Pixar is not Pornhub.
Just animated films made for young and old alike.
