We're only discussing that it's an influencing factor, not the only factor. And it's a factor that makes or breaks which era certain people prefer. But I don't ever recall saying that was the case for everyone. After all, there are people in their fourties who prefer the newer character designs, just as there are younger viewers who enjoy the old ones. But to think nostalgia doesn't play a role in peoples opinions is kind of silly. Both the new and old generation designs have their advantages, it's just that people who grew up watching anime in the 80's will be more inclined to prefer the advantages of the 80's character designs over the ones of today...And vise/versa. Nothing is absolute, but nostalgia does play a large psychological role in reminding people of the enduring appeal of their own past.
