The camp counselor is a teenager technically, but I think people forgetting the context behind the word ‘teenager’  

Honestly just throw this post into the ether 

I'm 85 years to late but just hang on a minute I had the most lukewarm epiphany  

I know no one's talking about it anymore, but I think everyone's too busy talking about how bad it is and not why it looks like it's bad. I've seen post being like” um that a child” and other being like “no he's an adult”

I think understanding why everyone is having this problem is more important than just saying the problem is a problem

Everyone's like omg there's a bat in in my room and not why is there a bat in my room or how did the bat get in my room in the first place  

It just seems like people are yelling at each other without seeing why the other person is yelling to begin with.

You feel me? 

this "drama" in a nutshell

I think the disconnect between calling the Camp counselor in “Happy Campers” a teenager then Viv calling him an adult is a word context problem.  

In the states or at least where I grew up  

Once you’re 18 or 19 no calls you a teenager anymore and I think that’s what tripping people up. When you're 18 or 19 you are an adult, you're not a kid anymore. When someone says teenager, you think 16-, 15-, or 14-year-olds first. Someone still in high school, most 18/19-year-olds are in college or just finishing high school and are full legal adults.  

And I think that’s problem  

Barbie says, “do you know how easy teenage humans are to manipulate?” When someone says teenager, you don’t think of an 18-year-old. You think of a child. If she said young adult sure the joke wouldn’t have landed as hard or got a big reaction, but it would less yikes worthy you know?  

And he doesn’t really look like an adult, at least to me. I think he looks older than the other kids, but they look like middle schoolers so assuming he's just some kid in high school makes since to me and I can see why people are very uncomfortable. If they made him look similar to the lifeguard or maybe if we saw other camp counselors that would have been better. Also, I think his voice sounds too young, he sounds like the typical nerd that gets bullied by the jock in those cheesy high school films. If he sounded like an awkward young adult, I think this would be better. But that’s also a matter of opinion on what you personally think sounds like a young adult.  

 In fact, in when I was in 11th grade, I had math with a kid who looked like this so :/  

I know Viv said he's an adult  

But if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck it's safe to say it’s a duck  

So, if it looks like a teenager and talks like a teenager....  

I understand both sides I honestly do  

he's an adult yes  

but in the most literal sense of the word “teenager” that’s still correct  

Basically, it's like in math class when the teacher asks you to answer a question like “what 2 plus 2” then you say 4 and they're like 4 what? 4 apples? 4 children? 4 missing body parts?  

Same thing different context  

It's like saying chips or French fries to someone from the USA or Britan. 

It's the same food but context matters 

Or saying pastry as a catch all for all desserts but the both are true but the context matters  

When you think pastry you think tarts, Danishes, or eclairs  

But  

If someone said dessert you'd think about cake, cookies, or pies  

Both are technically correct but when talking about a sweet dish but normally you'd just say one name for one and other for the rest  

Kinda like how beignets are donuts but no calls them donuts

I mean if you asked someone for a pastry like a snooty asshole and someone handed you a pie you would be very confused is all I'm saying

 

The reason it looks like Viv is trying to cover her ass and trying to using the “1000-year-old god” thing weebs use to undermined or justify Loli. She’s right he's an adult but also a teenager  

its giving square can be a rectangle, but rectangle will never be a square  

In my eyes at least  

Sorry if everyone already talked about and reached this conclusion, but I didn’t see any post about it and I wanted to give my very late opinion
