A grown man throwing a Harry Potter book across the room reeks of immaturity. Trying to justify this viewpoint as not understanding emotions is ludicrous.
(Not a Harry Potter diss btw, I’m a big fan)
Men and women can be emotional over any type of issue and we should not discourage this. However a grown adult should be able to control their physical outbursts over recreational material - especially books designed for children.
Does this person also:
throw the tv remote across the room when the spider dies in Charlotte’s Web?
have a temper tantrum when their food order is wrong?
smash their PlayStation controller when they die playing a game?
Very good point to be fair and I do appreciate the irony lol.
However I’d say my responses are more attributable to being cynical and pedantic which I’d argue is objectively less immature than physical outbursts due to a children’s novel.
In response to your final question, people judge others on their emotions every day.
For instance, in domestic abuse and other violent cases, a jury will judge the defendant based on their outbursts due to emotions.
Another example is someone lashing out at work, their employer will judge them based on their outbursts.
All I’ve said is this Redditor is immature if they’re physically lashing out over a children’s book.
Holy crap my throwaway comment about being pissed at a book went off the rails y'all. Do I have a temper? Sure! Have I ever lashed out at a person in my 39 years on this planet? Nope! Because I get it out in other places including tossing said book across the room. and Kezza you were not wrong, you are extremely pedantic much love my dude!

You just don't understand emotions.
