Inbox is open!
Hi, welcome to this-is-ageism! Send us an ask detailing an experience you've had, and we'll tell you if it's ageism!
(ageism is defined as the discrimination against people due to their age)
Inspired by @this-is-transandrophobia and @this-is-ableism . Bonus tagging round: @this-is-transgynephobia @thisisexorsexism @thisis-intersexism etc. etc. if I missed anyone please tell me. This blog is safe for anyone who is respectful and mindful!
not particularly MY experience necessarily, but this is an official quote from the US Department of Labor’s website
“If you are under 20 years of age, you can be paid $4.25 per hour during your first consecutive 90 calendar days of working for an employer.”
This is ageism!
Idk if you take questions, it's ok if not but if you do, genuinely what would an example of ageism be towards elderly folk outside of abuse/neglect of elderly family members that should be going to assisted care facilities be? I keep hearing "ageism mostly happens towards the elderly" which I already know is mostly bs but I can't think of any actual scenarios outside of neglect or abuse that would be ageism, sorry if this is a dumb question
Assuming that elderly people are incompetent or unfit for certain tasks by default is the big one, let me know if you need more!
"Its just a kid" ive heard tbat like 20 times
"Its just an adult" neved heard that before
why are people "just"
just say its a kid man they arent "lesser than"
This is ageism!
adults saying that they want to physically hurt kids and teens over fandom discourse.
i don't care if you think kids these days are too puritanical or whatever, if you're saying that minors need to be "put in their place" and deserve to be beaten just because a teenager doesn't like something that you do then you need to log off social media and reevaluate your life for a bit
This is ageism!
this probably has already been submitted but:
THE WHOLE FUCKING 'everyone is 12 now lol' SHIT.
This is ageism!
Since I was a little kid, I have had terrible mood swings, manic episodes and depression. Started at, like, seven. When I was really young people said “kids don’t get depressed”. Eventually when I got older, my mom recognized it and got concerned. I didn’t think much of it, I thought it was normal till my mom pointed it out. however, now that I’m older, every time it gets bad my mom either says “hormones” or “being dramatic.” She suddenly isn’t concerned when there is an excuse.
MORAL OF THE STORY fuck ageism you have real feelings at any age, and you can always talk to a friend or sibling because parents suck.

"holiday where you're expected to celebrate a naturally abusive authority originally meant to nurture and care for you, however the social abusive norms are normalized and the genuinely good parents with their genuinely good strategies get overshadowed and ridiculed while abusers thrive and mistreat their kid and get showered with praise for it. and the kids, unknowing, oblivious to the mistreatment, are expected to celebrate the people who strip you of your rights and treat you lesser because of your age and authority. you are expected to praise these people. you are devoted to them simply because they are authority and nothing else. and even if the child is aware they will still be guilted into celebrating these people by oblivious family members. we are expected to believe that all parents are good because of their parental role when that is far from the truth. happy mother's/father's day"

I don't know if this is purity culture or just ageism, but I saw someone say "people under 21 shouldn't draw NSFW, they should be supervised by their parents" and "minors shouldn't draw NSFW" in general (I understand if they say it to avoid problems or being groomed, but I don't get why it would be their fault and not the groomers' fault)
This is purity culture and ageism.
@this-is-youngism (will untag if asked)
This is ageism!
Misogyny and abelism is how people talk about psychosomatic symptoms.
An example I recently experienced was that I was reading up on psychosomatic tics, and every scientific sorce I found talked about how "psychosomatic tics are common in girls, specifically teen girls, because they watch tic videos." People treat psychosomatic symptoms as if it's the same as saying youre faking it actually. Psychosomatic symptoms are real, and happen because the body is experiencing problems, these problems aren't being fixed and are being ignored, so the body sends a symptom you cant ignore.
Now if theyre right, and psychosomatic tics are most common in teenage girls (which I doubt as I wouldn't be surprised if theyre not properly testing women and girls), teenage girls are often ridiculed, and have their symptoms ignored. Often told actually your problems arent that bad. So if it is true, it would make sense they get them more. Not just because "they watched some tic videos".
this is misogyny, ableism, and ageism

This is ageism!
I have a theory that cringe culture is partially rooted in ageism, with its other three pillars being misogyny, exorsexism, and ableism.
Pay really close attention to the demographics targeted by cringe culture.
Lots of them are younger teens.
It's even worse if they're a teenage girl, a nonbinary teen, or an autistic teen.
Now that we think about it, that does sound like ageism! Also @this-is-misogyny @this-is-exorsexism @this-is-ableism
Tbh, I think I have internalized ageism or something, because I hate how immature I look and sound despite being over the legal age of drinking
That sounds more like some form of body dysmorphia or something to us, but we aren't all that up to date on some terms, so don't take our word for it.
is this ageism?
yes
no
Ageism is every website making getting older out to be this horrible thing, and you need to stay young forever. Some people do want signs of age, some people do want to “look” old. Why are we shamed for that?
This is ageism!
the way EVERY SINGLE TIME i bring up people sexually harassing me for being a trans girl online i have to admit we're bodily a minor otherwise people refuse to take it even remotely seriously (and then of course they just either treat it with performative Save The Kids From Social Degenerates!! bullshit or call me a hysterical bitch trying to ruin lives)
This is ageism and transphobia!
Joined a Discord for a fandom at some point and had to leave immediately as the rules channel stated that this was a minors only space and that they thought any adults who joined were there for sexual or creepy reasons because it would be "Creepy and predatory" for an adult to be interested in a shonen anime. The Disboard page I joined from made no mention of age whatsoever. I understand wanting a space to talk with other young fans, of course that's all good, but the assumption that any adults in fandom spaces are there solely for predatory reasons is... Unpleasant. You don't suddenly stop being allowed to enjoy things once you turn 18

Let's also not forget that spanking a child on the bottom is, not only processed in the brain the same way as physical violence, but it also processes the same as sexual abuse.
It's literally molestation.
This is ageism and child molestation!
Ageism is youtube blocking anything considered “mature” unless you show your ID, including artistic nudity.
This is ageism!
