Yeah it’s just an unserious meme. It’s a game of thrones quote for goodness sake.

If you’re not actively trying to demean someone, it’s strange to essentially tell someone “it’s cute how naive you are.” If you were trying to demean the other person, then that’s a different issue but I’m assuming you aren’t that type of person.
I decided to leave a comment instead of passively downvoting.

But the context of the Game of Throne quote is diminishing.
It might seem like I’m trying to make you out as a bad person; I apologize because that’s not my intention. That comment was just the latest one I saw using it and it stood out even more because I didn’t get the sense that you were trying to be rude.

It was overused on Reddit two plus years ago.
Thanks for bringing a reddit response to lemmy.

I am reading those kinds of comments as playfully mocking, especially when the followup is so obviously exaggerated. Wouldnt mind someone using it on me. Im not a native English speaker though so maybe Im just ignorant of the real implicated meaning.
