Is there any chance that belittling them by calling what they do not "adult enough" could have contributed to the down voting?

With that question in bad faith that imply adults shouldn't be doing that. Or do you think he meant adults should watch young people play video games?

People choose specific words for a reason. Why did they use "adult" instead of "people"? There's an implication there, that this is an activity that doesn't need explaining if you're not an "adult" but does if you do. Can someone legitimately be asking that question, sure, but it absolutely comes across as loaded.
