why is there so many ageism as of lately both online and irl? whenever someone speaks up for kids or youth in general they get falsely accused of being a pedophile and a danger to kids.
i even saw a post on reddit posting a server owned by minors and complaining about it like it’s the end of the world when that’s literally considered to be a form of targeted harassment. most of my youtube feed is also now filled with retarded videos making fun of kids, especially for them raging at a game, or some bullshit like “hurr durr child gets mad at me for trolling them on roblox because they were playing peacefully and weren’t hurting anybody XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD”
even ageism exists irl as well where i live (im american) and combined in with ableism too due to how fascist america has become over the years (especially since trump is president too). american westoids literally think internet addiction and social media addiction exists when they’re a myth by modern day pop psychology and are often a sign of adhd as well.
even america has history being racist towards black, brown skinned, indigenous and hispanic youth as well as being misogynistic towards women who are young too. im starting to see them gatekeep fandoms, video games, basically almost literally everything from minors because of the rise of neo puritanism online from terfs, christofascists, and such. also going as far as to say young people ruined everything, they have “too many rights”, call them “children”, call them “fan cops”, call them “puriteens”, and so on fourth. this is even from spaces and people who claim to be progressive or left wing as well
this seems be a western social media thing though cause i heard chinese furries treat kids better and a chinese fursuit company also let kids try on their fursuit as well. unfortunately some people are starting to become ageist as well especially after turning like 18 or 19 years old outside of social media and non western oriented platforms too
i even witnessed some ageism, misogyny racism and ableism in my life before because i was on the spectrum as well being black, hispanic and young which lead me to being depressed and suicidal during the pandemic. so why is there a rise of ageism out of nowhere all of a sudden? why did it appear during the pandemic and became prevalent ever since then?

>the idea that children are not full people with full rights is deeply baked into american culturethat probably explains why a fascist such as trump got elected
