If I’m not mistaken, the guy is a Turkish journalist. I’m not Turkish, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they use something that in English would be translated as “little kid” to mean basically any young person, including young adults. We do this too in Greek, and we’re related enough culturally. In that case it’s not infantilisation, it’s cherishing of youth.
Why are they quoting this activist calling her a “little kid” That’s really insulting.
That this kind of thing is happening shows this is a military force of thugs with no strong leadership or discipline.
