> Just a general observation based on personal experience: some people will be insulted/offended/aghast at certain things because that’s the way they are. Doesn’t matter if no insult was intended or even recognized by the “offending” party. Recreational outrage is just so fulfilling for certain individuals. You can’t live your life catering to such idiocy.

A lot of them don’t even care if the offended party feels offended.

> I was thinking of making a fully functional tiny house as a child’s play house, yet still a fully functional tiny house (including electric, plumbing etc.). Something that he could spend the night or two in if he wanted to, much like a tent in the back yard. More than a child’s play house but something that he could make as he wanted and could manage the skills such as cooking, as he grows. Also as a aside a place where I could have visitors stay where they can have their own space once said child is grown and out, or simply outgrows it.

> It was expressed by one person that this is a insult to those who live in and support the tiny house um ‘movement’. Tiny houses, I was told, are all about sustainability, not taking more space and resources, and having a entire tiny house for a child is a slap in the face to the reason for tiny houses. Never considered this backlash, it came out of left field, though I do see their point, not sure it is anything actionable, but I can understand it. It was also mentioned it makes adults who chose to live in a tiny house appear ‘infantized’ if tiny houses becomes a child’s play house.

And you care… why?

People have opinions. People have assholes. People shouldn’t stick either in your face unsolicited, and you shouldn’t care about either under any circumstances.
