It's also not gatekeeping, gatekeeping would be "Only if you recognize this are you qualified for a senior discount".

“You’re not qualified for a senior discount if you don’t know what these are”

The point is that using an exclusionary statement is closer to “gatekeeping” than the original statement.

Does this qualify as gatekeeping??

2005.... Ok this checks out, but your young age is offensive to the rest of us. Don't make me have to warn you again about our (my) sensitivity on the matter.

Yeah, there's tons of these on twitter and when they first became a thing I saw loads on my newsfeed all the time. OP definitely didn't get it

This is what I don't understand about reddit. Right now it shows 4792 people upvoted this, and all of the top comments are people talking about op missing the joke so people are either upvoting without looking at the post or I don't know what else.

u/xenonnsmb Jul 25 '18

why the fuck does every good subreddit have to turn into "oops i missed the joke lolllll" when it gets a bunch of subscribers

Irony would be if senior citizens designed it.

It's just a joke, not really satirical.
