#infantilization
This is just coalitonal arson, and again I note the similarity between the way centrists talk about Black Democrats and philosemetism; a fetishistic weaponization and infantilization of marginalized groups that turns vicious the second participants don't play their assigned role.
This is the most atrocious and disgusting thing I've seen from a "endorser" maybe ever? She spends literally 90% of the statement criticizing Abdul and implicitly calling him a bigot, which she explicitly did during the primary. Why does anyone take this seriously?

It was weird (is weird the word I am looking for?) on here to see that shit. Impossible for anyone to say "hey she's a grifting fucko who got caught and now she's floundering" but instead it was a bunch of infantilization and explainers by the people who got took by her bullshit in the first place.
it's actually so weird and gross how people will see someone acting horrible and being horrible and immediately think 'oh she must be mentally ill'

The infantilization/punishment dynamic neatly describes *why* they get so mad about trans people being mad at Turek et al.

we agreed on an age that defines maturity and when people can be fully responsible for their own actions: 18. notice how the brain maturity pseudoscience aims to push more people into institutionalized infantilization & therefore less autonomy, rights, power (therefore easier to be abused)
"Helen Joyce...said: “Given that we know the vast majority of elective mastectomies relating to gender identity are performed on girls who haven’t reached the crucial age of brain maturity at 25, the sharp rise in the number of these surgeries in recent years is a tragedy."

infantilization of the western world is proving to be deadly

why do neurotypicals think that autistic people aren’t full people? is it truly just ableist infantilization? are they just hateful bigots? because being autistic has nothing to do with your capacity to consent — autists can still get married, buy property, and have sex!!! we’re people!!!!

these are all upholders of rape culture. they are all participants in the infantilization of women. they are either stupid or in favor of child abuse.

Also, love the infantilization of autistic people.

Yep, we're all manipulable children who should have zero autonomy or say in what we should do with our bodies, really cool.

my beef with the infantilization of Cozy Culture (plushies, YA media, comfort characters, etc) is that capitalists know people are desperate for relief from capitalism

they're making money selling you a balm for the burn they inflicted, which just=curling up like a baby & blocking out reality

I didn’t know being disgusted with a bunch of feminism appropriating Nazis made me a child, but ok.

Love the attempt at infantilization though, terf.

EW.

I've always been irrationally annoyed by the Italian trend of calling "ragazzi" (i.e. "boys") anyone under the age of 40. I'm convinced that several socioeconomic issues in that country are at least correlated with that infantilization.

There shouldnt be a need for concern period actually

Kids are alot more in tune with who they are than any adult around them would know, just no one wants to listen

Its pure infantilization and condescention
November 2, 2026 at 11:39 PM
this type infantilization of adults has occupied other domains. And I sincerely hope that the people who have done so are waking up to the reality of what that legally means and not just culturally.
Boy, if we’ve decided that nobody can be trusted to make an important life decision before 25 we’re really going to have to restructure a lot of society around an arbitrary, pseudoscientific number

LOVE the infantilization of nonbinary people. Been seeing it a lot lately. Ugh, sorry you had to deal with that.
October 28, 2026 at 12:50 PM
the infantilization is also meant to paper over the elephant in the room: she’s doing this because she’s a bigot, and she didn’t simply become one over night

Infantilization of white women is absolutely a thing. Whenever something like this happens, the vibes shift to pity because she's somehow being "controlled."
Stop it, yall. She is a grown ass woman with agency. He's an asshole, but she made her choices and that's it. Put her in the bin and move on.
New: Jordan Acker (UMich Regent & friend of Haley Stevens) said Stevens' fiance, Jason Turkish, took her phone.

Turkish (from his locked account) responds, claims Stevens "turned off her phone" herself.

He adds: "I could not be prouder of her courage to make this difficult and personal decision."

The infantilization of Republican White Men continues. Like how the Nazi sympathizers in that Young Republicans chat were just "kids" according to Vance, when they were all in their late 20's and early 30's. Whether you're 53 or in your 20's and 30's, you're not kids, but bigots, racists, and pervs.

The infantilization of this thirty five year old with a trust fund needs to be studied.
