I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a use of “sweet summer child” that isn’t deliberately and knowingly condescending. It’s kind of the point of the phrase.

- tempestn 1y agoAgreed that it's generally intended to be condescending, but when the rest of the comment is reasonable I'll assume good faith; maybe the person has seen it used elsewhere and doesn't realize how it comes across. Or maybe they even know its condescending, but not that it undermines their other points. Either way I felt a bit of push-back couldn't hurt.
