They supported it. The primary causes are more complex, dating back to the mid-1960s and the so-called "me me me" movement, part of which was the anti-psychiatry movement, popular among Baby Boomers in the US. The socio-political consequences of late-stage capitalism, and US politics since the Reagan Admin, reinforced emotivist politics and cultural infantilisim.

I was at first encouraged to read this article written by a Professor of Sociology, nonetheless, until I got to the last line which blew it for me "Simon Gottschalk is affiliated with the Democratic Party and other organizations affiliated with it."

Umm, the most infantile among us, who very recently were banging on the doors of the Supreme Court and REEEEEEEEing because a big meanie got to appoint an accomplished judge.

our everyday interactions with these computer technologies have accelerated and normalized our culture’s infantile tendencies.

Then he chose stupid examples, Cartoons and puppets like the Downy bear are ancient at this point.

We see it in our everyday speech, when we refer to grown women as “girls”

Infantilization of girls made them complain about being called "girls".

Frankfurt School

Of course.
