I mean, there's always been a small section of the community that's complained about those durned kids ruining the hobby by having the temerity to be interested in it, but this announcement seems to have really brought that to the forefront.
Without kids getting into the hobby, the hobby eventually dies. A few books aimed at kids won't destroy your hobby, and might well introduce it to kids who otherwise might not have even known it existed.
Everyone needs to take a chill pill and accept that not every product is aimed at them,
and that's ok.
One can agree with the principle of introducing Warhammer to children but disagree with the method. No child hated Star Wars because Luke Skywalker was old enough to own a "car", so it's a mistake to think that the protagonists of a children's story have to be children themselves.
