Mr. Enter himself is a decent example. He grew up with parents berating and degrading him for trivial mistakes, and now he berates and degrades TV writers for theirs.
Enter was also "bullied" by other kids which led him to believe trolls and cyberbullies are the same thing, yet he himself acts like a bully whatnot with him encouraging his fans to attack writers for working on episodes he doesn't like and random people who criticize his work or his behavior.

All this stuff about his past makes his fixation on little girls, children, and sissyfication, sound more and more like a cry for help. Dude wants to relive his childhood the way he thinks it should have been like.
Waiting for John to come out as trans. Him being a brony and his tendency to write in crossdressing are strong clues.
 
Do the stats and comments of the Growing Around videos really not give Enter the hint that Growing Around has big problems?

Here it is everyone, your worst nightmare.
Those blank stares the characters are giving each other make it seem more suggestive than it actually is.
Unless that was the intent, yeah, I don't think I want Enter near any kid let alone his own.

Bold of you to assume he takes criticism constructively.
Also there's a fucking Pinecest shipper in the comments. Says a lot about his fanbase.

If he had any shred of a clue at this point, he'd put GA on the back burner to work out the many, many plot issues and put more focus into making good/better reviews to hold him over. He'd announce he acknowledges all the issues brought to his attention and that he still wants his idea to work, so he's going to try and get it worked out while making content for patrons.

But he'll never do it.
 
I love how the most cancerous commenters had Madoka avatars. Coincidence I’m sure, but damn funny

There's so many logistical worldbuilding problems with GA that Enter is pretty much polishing a turd at this point. It's a waste to even try to fix any of the 'plot issues' cause the problems go beyond the plot. Even that Disney short it was based on didn't try to build on top of it because it knew the concept was broken but at least had the self-awareness not to take itself so seriously.

So he has the money management acumen and weird fetishes of Chris Chan while having YandereDev's productivity. That's a yikes.

Considering Enter made such a big deal about not liking college because, "My special interest changes all the time," it honestly does surprise me that he hasn't given up on Growing Around yet, 5-6 years later.

The gag of the original was what if old people did the things kids do and kids do the things old people do.
which is why you get the kid talking about buying a convertible during a midlife crisis and the dad saying “this is the life! No adults telling us what to do”
It’s a very shallow visual/audio gag. That’s all it is, that’s all it was
 
As someone who was crucified by Entard's fanbase years ago for making fun of him in a video, this shit feels good.
 
Here’s a thing I never really realized until now, whenever Enter talks about growing around he sounds angry. Either through text or voice he never sounds passionate or enthusiastic, he always sounds like he’s angry or fed-up about the whole thing and that’s REALLY not a good look for a guy begging for thousands to make his dream project a reality.

It’s especially evident in the live-streams or the commentary video. Dude just sounds pissed off

That’s just his default voice. He always sounds mad, even when talking about what he likes he sounds pissed and manages to drag in something that makes him angry. See some of his “admirable animations” videos for more examples of that. Especially the one on the Arthur episode “April”.
 
Or, I could understand it if something VERY extreme had happened that caused actual trauma. "The teacher gave me busywork," is not trauma.
This sort of thing is why I find his claims of home abuse suspect. He may be just clever enough to know that "they told me to do my homework and got mad when I didn't" isn't abuse, even if he can't/won't admit that "teachers gave me lots and lots of work and told me something that was later determined to be inaccurate" also isn't abuse or trauma.

You see this a lot with the deviant art crowd. They’re all constantly in a game of “who has the worst life” because if they know they’re unlikeable outside of pity. No different than the standard issue fat chick at the party complaining about her life by the snack table.
Much like deviant art threats of suicide, virtually all of these are fabrications, often to the extreme. He probably had a disgustingly comfortable home life, how worse would he be allowed to do nothing but watch cartoons all day?
No one who was abused as a kid would treat fictional characters being “mean spirited” as such a criminal offense.
 
I believe that his home-life was probably dysfunctional, just looking at GA shows his understanding of what is and isn't normal in a family dynamic is skewed. In the book, Sally delights in trying to come up with punishments for Linda that will be as humiliating and upsetting as possible, and then it isn't Sally who learns a lesson, but Linda by deciding not to fight it anymore and just go with it. Check the end of chapter nine, Sally decides to force Linda to wear something to humiliate her in front of everyone (having already humiliated her multiple times through the book), and Linda just gives up and lets it happen. We have our hero Sally not learning to stop being an asshole, and Linda learning that being emotionally abused is just what she's gonna get in life so she may as well just accept it. This coming from the dude who rees nonstop about "mean-spiritedness" in cartoons. I can only come to the conclusion that he thinks a bit of emotional abuse in a family is normal and likely did experience that growing up.

A past of verbal abuse may also explain some of the things that set him off in cartoons. One of his most hated characters is the dad in Disney's Chicken Little movie. Buck, I think his name is. Buck is a bad father in the film, and a lot of his lines would be considered emotional abuse if someone overheard an actual father talking to their kid that way. Enter was very angry in the Chicken Little review, mostly because of Buck. (Review linked below for some classic Enter rage.) And then when you think about other pieces of media he is familiar with and how certain characters don't enrage him as much as Buck, you start to notice he's more bothered by depictions of verbal abuse than of physical. Homer Simpson, for example, you would expect a person like him to rage about Homer strangling Bart, call it unfunny and consider Homer a terrible character as a result, but he's never shown up on any of his Most Hated Characters lists. It would make sense, though, if he experienced emotional abuse as a child, but nothing physical, then Buck would be the character to bring back those memories and not Homer.

Maybe even his freak-out over the MLP episode where one character insults the interests of some of the others (the one that Enter says sent him into a week long depression. The review is linked below, but I can't recall if he the depression comment was in the review or in his Top Worst MLP episodes video that came out later.), was because it somehow connected to memories of being verbally berated by his parents for the special-interests he had as a result of being an Autist. Just from the Pluto Is A Planet thing I posted earlier, I can imagine his parents yelling at him to stop playing vidya and watching cartoons and do his damn homework.

I dunno, this is all just speculation, but putting it together like this does cause some things to make sense.

I have a feeling that reviewing all of these episodes drove him to madness, where he became the thing he once scorned and Growing Around is the result of this. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

If GA was released by someone else during Enter's 'prime' I think he would've definitely labelled the show an Animated Atrocity as it shares most of the tropes to a terrifying degree.. While I do agree most of the Animated Atrocities he reviewed warranted those labels because they were pretty bad episodes in general, the way he reviewed it and the reasons he came up with (characters being too mean, torture porn, etc.) seemed like he was taking it more personally than the Average Joe, like it resonated with him in his real life despite the cartoon background.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the life-experiences and perspectives of others to really write based on what he knows. As most of his cartoon experiences/internet fame is centred around these AAs, of course, he's going to take the worst qualities of his personality, life, and what made him famous to begin with.

Just a speculation, I guess.
