Love Zhaoying Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) 14 hours ago, LittleMe Jewell said: Rolig mentioned growing old and while I am over the 60 hill, I still do laugh at most 'old people' jokes. For me, it actually keeps me from getting depressed about my age. I think, as people age and "share the same affliction" with their peers, it becomes easier and more acceptable to joke about those (hallmarks of aging). See: countless cartoons (single panels and strips) about "got old, forgot this", "got old, now look like this", "got old, now having trouble moving", etc. So while not "ageism" - in general, self-deprecating humor about aging seems to be accepted by society. That does not mean that somebody (noone in particular, I just mean "anybody") won't be offended if we were to post a Meme about "getting old". Heck, it used to be "funny" to show an older person with a literal "ear trumpet", but now of course hearing loss is seen as something anyone can suffer from. Another fine example: SNL many YEARS ago had a fake commercial for an adult diaper, "Oops! I crapped my pants!". Posting something like that now would be definitely frought. So, I hope you see the conundrum. (Can't please everyone, somebody will always take offense almost no matter the post.) On that note: (and NO THIS IS NOT DIRECTED AT ANYONE) Edited February 27 by Love Zhaoying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
