    I honestly couldn't have asked for a better example to prove the point I'm making about people being assholes on the internet versus their real life behavior. There was absolutely no need for him to talk the way he did yet here we are.

    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.

    Isn't "sweet summer child" just a game of thrones reverence calling the other to be a bit naive? Or am i just missing context here?

    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.
