I’m not sure if you mean Jacob William Rees-Mogg, or George R.R. Martin

You can’t play racing games if you believe that. I’d far rather play an FPS at 30 than a racing game at 60. Low frame rates can give me motion sickness at high camera speeds.
This reminds me, I was once walking into a Melbourne Metro station, and the Aussie mate I was with had been spinning me some web of shit for a while, I finally lost it and loudly announced “LOOK, mate, I’m not gonna believe any of the SHIT that comes out of YOUR MOUTH ever since you tried to sell me on FUCKIN HOOP SNAKES” and a random commuter woman in earshot literally doubled over laughing.

poor impulse control and a lack of long-term thinking and an inability to take others’ feelings

And what is stopping you from just saying that, rather than using a pithy pejorative with a side order of pop psychology? It’s not just brevity. On some level you must want to express disdain for his behaviour.

I (seriously) do not see this as any different to “he hurt a few people’s fee-fees”. That guy is using it to convey his disdain for the people Linus hurt.

One behavior is inherently childish. One is not. One is objectively the attitude of an infant and thus does not require the act of infantalization in order to be framed as such.

No, it isn’t, and this is a subjective opinion on your part. Not everyone agrees with you, so it’s not objective. Even what exactly is ‘childish’ behaviour is subjective, and arguably culturally dependent.

His behaviour is pretty much by definition, that of an adult. An adult with poor impulse control, sure. But childish? That’s a value judgement which adds nothing to the conversation.

Use less reductionist words to explain why it’s bad.

… he hurt a few people’s fee-fees. Way to infantalize the people calling him out while excusing his childish tantrums.

You’re infantilizing Linus’ expression of anger, just the same as the person you’re replying to is infantilizing people who’re upset by it.

Either they’re both bad, or both ok - or you’re effectively saying that infantilization is fine, but only towards people whose behaviour you disapprove of.

Way to infantalize … his childish tantrums.

Come on dude. Either there’s a standard here or there isn’t.

That’s a bit harsh.

He looks more like Mac’s mom. Charlie’s mom might be needy, but she doesn’t look that rough!
