Do you think it is right or wrong to say, "Are you a child?" to someone while they are doing something they enjoy?

Don't you think it's wrong to ask a question like 'Are you a child?' while doing something that a person enjoys? For example, when you play football and enjoy it, there's no problem, and even when you don't play, they say 'What kind of a man are you?', but when you play and enjoy it monthly, some people say 'Are you a child?'. What's the connection, football is a ball game without points and a ball game with monthly points, but when you love and play one, you become an adult, and when you love and play the other, you become a child, what's the logic in this? For example, when you play computer games, you are normal, but when you play internet games, you become a child, according to some. Although there are many scary devices in amusement parks, there are those who treat those who go to amusement parks as children. In my opinion, people should be able to do whatever they want without judging them, without distinguishing between children and adults, as long as they don't harm or disturb anyone else. If a person is asked 'Are you a child?' while doing something that they enjoy, then they may doubt themselves by saying 'Am I still childish?', 'Am I not fully grown up?' while doing something that they enjoy. That's why it's not right to do this. Who determines exactly what is adult pleasure and what is child pleasure? What is the exact limit? It's completely up to people's perceptions. That's why, as I said, you can do whatever you want as long as it's harmless. If we live according to other people's ideas, we'll have to give up many things we enjoy and have a lifestyle we don't want. What do you think about this?

What do you say to adults who treat those who watch Power Rangers as children and those who don't watch Avengers as tasteless?

[katiesmuff]

I generally mind my own business so what others do as long as it is not harming someone it is their business and not mine.

[LadyBecks]

That seems rude to do. Live and let live

What kind of nonsense is this?

[emrekaankeles]

I think so too. People's childhood or adulthood is not determined by their habits or hobbies, it is determined by their maturity. Life is already difficult or boring. That's why such judgmental statements are not true at all.

[squadrista]

I have never heard a phrase or saying like "are you a child" before. I think it is ridiculous.

Such words are said a lot in Turkey. There is a lot of judging of those who are not like them in Turkey.
