Was doing the mandatory training modules at my new job and apparently age discrimination is only discrimination if the person being discriminated against is over the age of 40.

As if the 16 yo new hires couldnt possibly be discriminated against because they're young. No that's impossible, the youth are privileged! They know how to work copmuter machines and their hair isn't gray

#ageism #adultism #age discrimination #the training video showed a young woman making a social media post on her personal account about how the 'over 60s'#kept making her their tech support and she was tired of it because it wasn't her job #anway the training made me report her to my supervisor #which yeah don't be doing that #never post anything about work on social media #but did they have to use that example?#it's bad but equally serious age discrimination happens against younger people all the time #if that's harrassment than I'm certain younger people are harassed because of their age #and age discrimination is not exclusive to over 40s

I'm 41 but when I'm interacting with the 20-somethings at my work I feel like I belong. And when I'm interacting with the 50-60 somethings I feel like I belong also. Am I just in the age group where you relate to everyone or is your age entirely meaningless actually and it's all about how you feel as a human being hmmmmmmmmmmm

At what age does it become intolerable to participate in online fandom?

At what age do you start telling people they're too old to be in a public fandom space because it skews young?

I have been online since the literal beginning of the internet. I've been in chatrooms in one form or another for my entire life, without issue, without anyone telling me I don't belong there. It has been my primary mode of socialization since I was 14. Some of the most important people in my life are people I met online.

But then I turned 40 and suddenly, my presence in a chatroom is creepy.

It wasn't creepy when I was 35 and I was the admin for a huge Discord server full of mostly teens and 20-somethings. Nobody complained when I was 35. They called me their server mom.

But 40 is apparently the limit. I tried to join a few public Discord servers last year and was politely shooed away each time because I was honest about my age.

The obvious solution would be to find spaces with people my own age, right? Except those don't really exist. If it's a fandom space, the overwhelming majority of people are going to be teens, 20-somethings, and a small population of younger 30-somethings. Those are the people who are talking about the things I also would like to talk about.

Even the people I follow here on Tumblr are mostly in their 20s.

There is not much of an online peer group for older Millennials and Gen X. I found and tried some non-fandom, general servers, and they were desolate and stale. A lot of us grew up without computers at home, barely even had computers at school, so the internet never really became a big part of our lives beyond things like Facebook, or Twitter, or discussion boards. Things you spend a few minutes looking over before bed.

But I don't want those things. Tumblr has been great, the Good Omens fandom has been amazing, but I don't want to check throughout the day if someone has replied to something I said hours or days or weeks ago, I want to talk to people, but those places are populated by an age group who tells me it's not appropriate for me to be there anymore.

It's so damn frustrating and lonely. I didn't do anything wrong. I'm not doing anything wrong. I just got older.

I'm just a married gay woman with a kid in school who wants to giggle over an angel and a demon and how in love and stupid they are. I feel like it shouldn't be this hard.
