Hello all,

What could be said of a person who judges people on basis of whether their interests are kiddish or mature. For example, someone at age 30 likes playing video games and he is ridiculed saying "Wow, you play video games at 30, are u a kid". What would you call this person or this judging.

A one-sided judgement?

Not a teacher.

They should, of course, say "Wow, you play video games at 30, are you a kid?"
​I would say they were being judgmental.

I understood that the OP already knows that this is judgemental.

If this person plans to ask this question of every thirty-year-old who plays video/computer games, he/she will have little time for anything else. It's one of the most popular pastimes amongst thirty-somethings these days.
