    Why are people digging into the semantics of the word “child” in this thread?

    The point is that they are acting IMMATURELY. 👌

      Semantic debates are easy to feel like you’ve won, they’re the low hanging fruit of the debate world. Sometimes people (including myself, I’m guilty of it too sometimes) just want an easy win.

        I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that they were doing the whole “that’s an insult to children’s intelligence” bit. Still just a variation on what I already said lol.
