    Isn’t “sweet summer child” just a game of thrones reverence calling the other to be a bit naive? Or am i just missing context here?

        Interestingly, I usually assume the phrase is said tongue in cheek, but I only mention that to illustrate the following.

        We never quite know how our words – in person or online – will affect others.

      It was a term way before game of thrones, but it means naive I the straight sense yes. I imagine the person meant it more in a lighthearted way is all. Though tone is hard to tell online a lot of time so who knows.
