It doesn't get named based on your personal experience. It's a generic age range. It doesn't need to be anything else. What you stereotype a millennial as (being younger than you and more annoying) isn't part of what a generational grouping is. It's your own preconceived notions and ageist opinions.

You don't "turn into" an elderly person. It's not like you're young and spry one day and then elderly when the clock strikes midnight as you turn 60. If we're talking senior citizen, that's legally defined as 65. If we're talking elderly, that's more an issue of physicality on an individual basis. Some people are old and decrepit at 55, some are still in pretty healthy, great shape at 75. It's different for everyone.

Wouldn't a WoW-killer that didn't kill WoW mean it isn't a WoW-killer? I'm not sure if you're saying it as a good thing or a bad thing. Is it so good that it should have killed World of Warcraft but didn't or are you saying it was just another so-called WoW-killer that failed to live up to expectations and was over hyped?

I don't see why we would care if a guy plays a female character. I play male characters sometimes. Honestly, I think the only part that's a little confusing to me is that you never play male characters. What if you're playing a game that doesn't let you create your character and the character choices are only male characters? Would you just not play the game? Or what it has a mix but the female characters aren't very fun to you? Would you force yourself to play the female characters anyway?

I do have a friend who won't play any male characters and she loved the Tomb Raider games and always wanted to play Uncharted but refused to because the main character is male so some people are just like that.

Maybe I misunderstood what OP meant, but I felt like they were talking about something like the Walking Dead Telltale game but more immersive and open world. Rather than combat/action focused games like literally everything that has been suggested so far.

Customer service people get mistreated because people are assholes, not because people think kindness is weakness. I've seen a lot of nice customer service people get shit on, but it's not like the mean/rude/unkind customer service people are being treated like kings. They're getting it just as bad or worse, because they're drawing the ire from the assholes and a lot of people who would have otherwise been nice to them if not for their bad attitudes.

Basically everything you're saying isn't true. Factually inaccurate. For multiple reasons. First of all, many jobs have age requirements. Many things in this world have different ranges where you can't do it until after a certain age. Perfectly legal. Also, other industries other than movies, including TV, radio, modeling, etc exist and do the same things. Sports and athletics related jobs have gender requirements. So even if we want to pretend that what you're saying isn't BS (it is BS), then it's still wrong because it's not only movies.

Next, OP specifically says the word discriminate. Discrimination is unjust/prejudicial treatment of people based on their given categories. It isn't unjust or prejudiced to pick a person based on their age, race, gender, etc for a role in a film. It's appropriate for the work that is being done. Which is my point. You're the one missing the point trying to have a Reddit "gotcha" moment and you failed.

No, it's not. It's not discrimination to hire someone with the appropriate qualifications for the job. You can reject an applicant for a job as an engineer if they don't have the appropriate qualifications, right? If the role requires you to be a particular race, age, gender, certain tone of voice, etc, those are part of the qualifications. Not all jobs require the same things.

No, because you've deliberately misinterpreted what a love triangle is. Love triangle is a made up term. It means whatever the creator of the term and now society has accepted it to mean and that specific meaning is a situation when two rivals vie for the affection of a third person. If two men are interested in the same woman or two women interested in the same man, there is no homosexuality. The two rivals aren't interested in each other. That isn't what a love triangle is. Maybe you think it would make more sense that way, but that's not how language works.

No, they aren't technically grilled cheese sandwiches. Taking a slice of bread out of the fridge and putting any kind of cheese on it isn't a grilled cheese sandwich, so why would a bagel be one? Most people also eat half of a bagel at once. And they eat them fresh or toast them. They don't grill or pan fry with cheese. So.. it's not grilled.. it's not a sandwich.. and there's an argument to be made about the cheese part as well.
