    Welcome to Lemmy. I agree with ya in that I don’t get it either. But you made the mistake of asking the kids why they like a specific toy. Not knowing makes you uncool. Think of it like being on Reddit:

    It’s like this on Reddit.

      Is there any chance that belittling them by calling what they do not “adult enough” could have contributed to the down voting?

          With that question in bad faith that imply adults shouldn’t be doing that. Or do you think he meant adults should watch young people play video games?

          People choose specific words for a reason. Why did they use “adult” instead of “people”? There’s an implication there, that this is an activity that doesn’t need explaining if you’re not an “adult” but does if you do. Can someone legitimately be asking that question, sure, but it absolutely comes across as loaded.

          “Why do adults watch other adults play video games…?”

          You are saying non of this is sarcastic? This question that seems clearly in bad faith? Because in my life I found out that everyone likes to be sarcastic but not many, maybe even none, likes to receive sarcasm.

          Sorry for the wait.
