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.
