Engaging in age based stereotypes (or any other demographic generalization) is a form of prejudice - it might seem funny or be perceived as “punching-up”, but with such crude rhetorical instruments there will be unintended and innocent victims - mainly truth, goodwill and trust. It’s unfortunate that the (by design) dynamics of the transmission apparatus actively encourage low-information exchanges and promote inflammatory modes of conduct in order to drive engagement. This seems to be our fate until private enterprise motives are excised from societies nervous system.
