Me, here.

Picking on younger generations is healthy and natural: They're still figuring stuff out and it's a good way to give some teachings while everyone has a chuckle. What's not healthy and natural is leaving them with neuroses where silent expectations, judgements, unwillingness to see their side etc. are the usual weapons: Don't carry a dagger behind your back, doubly so don't be unconscious of it, instead, open-carry a super soaker.

Said the dumbass craven bully who needs to pick on people weaker than themselves to feel better

So you wouldn't pick a snowball fight with a whole primary school because you're oh so moral, not because you're scared. Makes sense.

Unlike you I do not, in fact, fear five-year-olds. And it's not because of fear or principle. It is because I am not a craven, sadistic lunatic who feels the need to harm children to prove a point.

I shall look forward towards your experience report picking that snowball fight with a whole primary school, then. Also primary school is like 6-10, at least over here. They can throw.
