Hot take ... ageism toward younger people should be 1,000 times more acceptable than ageism toward older people. The latter is completely tasteless and void of class.
I'm of the complete opposite opinion. Young people are still trying to figure out how everything works and how to control their emotions, yet we often hold them to the standard of someone who is of our own age, all while denying them the ability to participate in large parts of society.
Depends on how "young" we are talking about. 16-18 year olds? Yes, I'd agree with you. People in their mid-twenties and older don't fall in the same category, however.
