Is digital spy ageist?
Everyday when something stupid is posted someone says "Oh it must be the school holidays" or "people are bored because of the school holidays"
I believe this is ageist, I know more adults who post stupid comments than children. Just because someone's a child it doesn't mean they are stupid. Think of a new insult or get out!! |

In my time on this forum I've learnt that rule number 1: DS doesn't like anything...

Yes, children think they own the place and soaps are for them.

Ease up...we all know it happens and it must feel insulting when it does.
On the other hand we have loads of young posters on here that make intelligent and interesting threads and posts. I don't think it matters how old you are, we all get knocked back sometimes. |

I believe this is ageist, I know more adults who post stupid comments than children. Just because someone's a child it doesn't mean they are stupid. Think of a new insult or get out!! However, you do see more threads and comments during school holidays that do just seem like bored people saying any old guff and sometimes you can tell that they're probably quite young because of the phrases they use and their style of writing. So there is some truth to it. Having said that, there are a lot of posters on here say stupid things (most of us probably) who are well past leaving school and should know better. Quote:

I've noticed this actually. I'm not even a teen, i'm in my late twenties, but I have noticed that some posters have a tendency to invalidate younger posters opinions or be dismissive of others under the assumption that they are 'tweenies' etc.

Age is no indicator of intelligence. Wisdom should be acquired in life but unfortunately that doesn't always happen.

Im young myself and think people who use age to insult others are ridiculous. Says more about them, don't take it to heart.
