being controversial ≠ immaturity
controversial and mature: “abortion should be legal”
uncontroversial and immature: “i pooped in the urinal”
i understand your point, but your conflation of immaturity and controversy does not fully understand what controversy is.
controversy - when there is a significant split in opinion or disagreement within a certain group, typically when prolonged, public, and heated.
but, being controversial ≠ bad
the outlawing of slavery was controversial at one point, but that doesn’t mean that being of the opinion that slavery is bad is a bad opinion.
there is, however, being controversial for the sake of being controversial, or being “edgy”, which i do believe to be immature as you don’t actually believe your own opinions and are simply saying them to get a rise out of others, or “trolling”, which seems to be what you’re critiquing here.
just my two cents.
