>99% of the time it's used in a condescending way
I mean... yes? That's what the quote is about? Talking to a naive person ignorant of the world??? How else would you use it lmao

Personally I like it. It's one of the better pop culture additions to language. I'll take a dozen of these over something from a marvel movie

Yeah, this really confused me about the secret. It's supposed to be condescending...

Re: Transcript by OP

Yes, I like it. It's a well-written line. The fact that it's now in common usage says a lot.

Is it condescending in the book (which has overtones of dismissal, of someone being lesser because of their ignorance, a little mean-spirited), or is it a kind of sad or gentle chiding said to someone who is about to have their innocence or naivete destroyed?
I haven't read the book, so I don't know.

Like... you're bringing your own tonal reading to it in online conversations, but I rarely read it as out and out condescending-- usually I read it as an 'oh sorry about what's about to happen to your innocence' being couched in a familiar fandom-y way.

Which, you know, I'm sure there ARE people being condescending on the internet, being not entirely a sweet summer child myself, but I don't believe ALL of them are and I'd rather assume something is meant in a less dickish way. And as a bonus, if someone is ever trying to condescend to me to get a reaction, they will not get it?

Not OP or AYRT but it’s up to personal interpretation. If you read the thread, multiple people read it as condescending and multiple people do not. I can’t recall how it was portrayed in the show or if it even was.

It’s kind of like somebody from Mississippi saying, “bless your heart.” It can be outright condescending (and often is) but it can be sweeter too.

Thank you for bringing this example to the conversation. Sweet summer child and bless your heart read very similarly to me. It can be condescending or it can be sweet. Interpretation depends upon circumstances.
