That's bit excessive, in my opinion. Whatever. Clearly this won't go anywhere good.

That's a bit overdramatic. It is the equivalent of an overused meme and nothing more. Is it annoying though? Absolutely, especially when people fail to use it correctly. Even when they do, it has been done to death already and all anyone gets is an eyeroll from me. Pretty sure I've rolled my eyes at the term since the first time I heard it. Not because I take offense though or feign offense on someone else's behalf. It's more like I can't understand the humor in it. That's my default reaction to a lot of terms that people come up with nowadays.

It's a kind of bigotry called "Ageism"

Ageism refers to the stereotypes (how we think), prejudice (how we feel) and discrimination (how we act) towards others or oneself based on age. see: https://www.who.int/news-room/questi...%20stereotypes.

Yeah, I'm not clicking on that. My point still stands. I will instead suggest that we both walk away from this conversation and not derail the thread.

I don't know what this thread is about at this point, but back on topic...

The glam looks decent, and I'll probably buy it at some point.

it's a link to the World Health Organization created by the UN. It's a statement on Ageism, and is a part of several pages dedicated to bigotry, and their affects on Global health.

It's just a joke. Calm down lol. I personally have always warmed up to the early 20's, being 90's kid myself.
So my post was just a bit of nostalgia than insult to anybody.

Having said that if the price is lower I might buy the outfit. It looks good and everybody in Limsa is wearing it >.>

Not going to lie I bought the outfit just for the kicks.

You bring up a good lesson that people need to learn. Making a Joke, idiom, or metaphor through the use of bigotry is wrong, and when someone calls you out on it, you shouldn't try and defend your use of bigotry. You should apologize, and try to avoid bigotry, now in some cases you might not feel the term or expression is offensive, but it really doesn't matter, you don't get to choose whither or not others are offended, If you offend, you are at fault. It's that simple. Stop trying to justify your offense, and start doing the right thing and do better, and reframe from using bigotry accidental or not.
