Hey, champ, way to jump in with an unrelated "no, but". At the start of this thread the person chose to marginalize this speaker and what she had to say because she appears "15 years older than they should be." Then they failed to give any representation of what a 63 year old woman _should_ look like, let alone a 63 year old cancer survivor. So to avoid being pedantic I'll just call it what it is: ageism.
- wakawaka28 2y agoThe comment you replied to that started this whole thread was this: >The host is clearly in poor physical condition and many of their concerns are due to lack of proper nutrition , exercise and prescription meds abuse. They appear 15 years older than they should be. Their advice is primarily reactive, and the trivial proactive advice (exercise more) is delivered almost ironically. >Take care of yourself now. Drop the weight, get generous activity, get off the meds and you will feel loads better. Boy that really wreaks of ageism, let me tell you. /s Being overweight makes you look older. He didn't marginalize anyone, he said that in his opinion she didn't look very healthy and was causing her own problems. He also gave some well-meaning recommendations, possibly from experience. He doesn't owe you an example or a detailed explanation of how he came up with a general impression of "15 years older." He's probably not a doctor or one of those age-guessing performers at a carnival. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're overweight and in denial like the woman in the video (who denies that BMI has any significance), and that's why you're flared up about this boring comment.
