That's okay, no worries. For me the words "comfort [thing]" have a connotation, as well as a denotation, and the connotation is very much, "thing that soothes a child at an age when the child isn't capable of self-soothing on their own." Which makes sense because that is generally the context in which people use the term IRL. At least that's how people where I live usually use it.

I find the "Sir, that is my emotional-support character" meme way less annoying because the term "emotional-support [thing]" is not associated heavily with young children, and also it's tongue in cheek. It's relatable, but it's also deliberately underlining the awkwardly trivial nature of most innocuous coping mechanisms, despite how much they can sometimes mean to us.

Thank you for this response, I appreciate it!

When you put it that way, I do understand where you’re coming from. I hadn’t thought about it that way, but it makes total sense.
