Do you guys ever get tired of seeing people use the words "child" or "immature" as an insult on the internet these days?

Is the person bad at video games? Well, he's a kid.

Is the person being rude? Must be a child.

Does the person have bad taste? Definitely an immature child.

Real maturity comes from knowing how to accept that sometimes other people have shitty moments or make mistakes. When someone rolls out the "LOL LOOK AT THIS STUPID KID, GO HOME KID" bullshit, I instantly imagine that they have some sort of IRL situation that makes them feel childish on a daily basis.

As a person, I tend to take other people as they are, and judge them accordingly.

As a 26 year old gamer/internet nobody I have spent years of my life unwillingly interacting with younger people on games, forums and teamspeak.

The one thing I truly learned was that I have found just as many 45 year old ex marines who act like obnoxious morons as I have seen immature 14 year olds.

Anyone have any input on this nonsense?

Just to get around the inevitably "lol op must be a kid" posts, here is my facebook for your reference.

To me its not about offending people or kids, its about being concise with your insults.

If someone is an asshole I'm going to call them an asshole, not randomly call them immature because its easier.

did you seen a lot of marines in those games?


anyway I find this word "kid" or "child" way more insulting than words like "fcker", "motherfcker", "sisterfcker (I actually like this one)" and so on. because I'd better be called fcker than child. if somebody calls me that name I really getting ofended because childrens are usually such a stupid dumb fcks who have no job/moneys and can't do anything by themselves and cries a lot. and Im glad I m not like that..

though in many mmorpgs I played childrens often are poor beggers and begging to help them with quests, to give them moneys and items and so on. they are usually annoying. and stupid. I just cant stand (actual) childrens, Im staying as far away from them as I can and I would never have my own childrens. I hate them. I wish I'd met more marines on those games than fucking childrens...
please sell me the condom, mister
I would like to fuck my sister!
condoms really worth to keep
I will fuck her very deep!
could you be my condom keeper?
so I could try to fuck her deeper!

please think I m stupid but please dont think I m a troll.

Nice DP bruh.

OT: It doesn't really bother me that much. If a person wants to call someone a child, let him. Its the internet. You say pretty much anything you want.

'Kid' is like the keyboard warrior equivalent of a buzzword.
It has meaning, but the meaning has become so obfuscated as it is commonplace. Pretty much in every argument ever where somebody takes the moral high ground and so on.

Ex-marines? No offense but Ive found those to be the most annoying. They just kinda think of them to highly because they learned how to shoot a gun, and some of them didnt have too much of an education either.

Using homosexual slurs as an insult seems more idiotic to me. I mean, aren't we supposed to be accepting of homosexuals? So why the insults? Calling someone a child or kid seems trivial compared to this rather hypocritical insult.

It's the internet. These trolls you speak of don't take it seriously, and sane people like you shold take their stuff even less seriously.

It's pretty silly. I think you'd have to be insecure to look down on other people by calling them children, considering that it would probably make you feel inherently superior to them. Sure, I suppose that applies to most insults, but since "child" as an insult is more rare, I see a stronger implication behind it. But perhaps I'm over thinking it. It doesn't bother me that much, but it just seems hypocritical. Plus I have a dislike for adults who think all children are idiots.

I don't get why anyone would get worked up over it. If you're not a kid, why should you be offended?

Most of the time those calling others children are children of some sorts themselves.

But everyone has been a child at some point in their life, people just want to look good.

If you're offended by being called a child you probably need to grow up in the first place. If someone calls you that you probably either hurt their emotion bones or they're just insecure about their own pleb tastes. Do I get tired of seeing people call other people children everywhere? Yes.

I suppose so. I just thought that description he gave was entertainingly harsh.

To be called a kid is just a passive aggressive term to call someone immature and to imply that you're better than them, which is ironic.

The only people that get insulted on the internet are those with big egos.
