I can't +rep you at the moment, but I wanted to say that you raise a very interesting point that hadn't been raised before. The "infantilization" is arguably a degrading angle. I don't think it's intended to be that way, but now that you've said it, I can certainly understand why some people would be upset over it.

I guess we'd have to wait for Shai-Lang to come back and remark on it, though.

(And Archon_Wing, I didn't think that any aspect of your posts came off as offensive. No worries. I've enjoyed the conversation we had.)
