EdibleFriendI don’t think there is a single person behaves that way online that thinks it doesn’t change the person they are IRL. It’s just online they have the balls to be the person they really want to be.
SimonOh you sweet summer child. Everyone is the hero of their own adventure.
Actually I just need to address this a little further because this is a beautiful example of what I’m discussing. All I did was post my opinion and you came along being a condescending ass about it. Do you believe that doesn’t count towards who you really are?
Wow so touchy. Not only was that condescending, it was lighthearted. Yet you’re just too fucking miserable to not make it about you huh?

To be fair, at first I’m sure he didn’t mean to be condescending. I have certain friends that use the “poor child” type phrases like that as well, but it’s usually used for a comedic spin, because the language is from a few generations ago. His following reply was shit though 😆 talk about touchy.

I don’t know but it boils my blood every time and it’s never even been used on me before

We never quite know how our words – in person or online – will affect others.
It was a term way before game of thrones, but it means naive I the straight sense yes. I imagine the person meant it more in a lighthearted way is all. Though tone is hard to tell online a lot of time so who knows.
