    Could you not use people’s age as an insult?

    If you don’t get it, it’s not even worth explaining.

    k, thanks. bye.

      Boomers is more of a mindset than a specific age range to be fair

        Hard disagree. It’s a generation. If people used zoomer or millennial in the same disparaging way in a meme, they’d be lambasted.

          Yeah baby boomers are a generation, but not all baby boomers have a boomer mentality. I know some Gen X, some millennials and some zoomers that do too.

            I’m familiar with the argument. And yet it is an age descriptor used as a pejorative. But no one cares because its just old people, right?

              Well, a word can have multiple meanings

                So if someone called a gay person f-slur, its okay because words have different meanings. Got it.

                  Yep, totally the same thing, a blanket word for obtuse close minded people and a sexual slur

                    Now you get it. A slur doesn’t become not a slur just because it has other meanings

                    e.g, evaluate this hypothetical statement by fictional commenter Chad Dudebro:

                    “Calling him a (f-slur) doesn’t mean OP is homophobic. Being a (f-slur) is a state of mind.”

                    It ain’t the same level of offensive, but “boomer” is obviously an agist slur. Its just that no one cares because its okay to hate old people.

                  Oh boy, are you intentionally dense?

              a mindset from a different time has little to do with age and more to do with the environment they grew up in. If a baby boomer time traveled from when they were 20 to now they would still be a boomer.
