Everyone referring to Bankman-Fried as a kid or child or whatever was defending him (or, more likely, defending their own interest in keeping the crypto grift going). And there were a lot of articles being published pushing that angle.

Cargo shorts, goofy hair... he doesn't even understand things like social decorum!" all while he was deliberately social engineering his way into the elitest social strata.
