Does the fact that it’s a joke make it any less ageist? Historically, jokes have been a very common way for racism and sexism to spread. It makes it socially acceptable and desensitizes people to the harm that’s actually being communicated. “It’s just a joke bro” does NOT excuse.

Some things about the internet never change. Like some people not detecting jokes
They could’ve detected it and still not thought it was funny, comedy is famously difficult.
