guys and cartoons

so i was sitting in modern european history when i over heard a very odd but yet amusing conversation between Silly Weeknight and Big Viper they seemed to be talking about how Silly Weeknight was into girl cartoon characters. . . i started laughing my head off and they decided to join me into the conversation to try and explain what they we're talking about, they explained that every guy goes through this cartoon thing but i disagree especially seeing as Big Viper said that he didn't go through that stage. . . so anyways the rest of our week was spent questioning guys about whether they went though this really weird stage or not, it actually turns out that the majority of guys do which is now quite weird if you ask me. . . what are your thoughts on this topic?
