The following applies to both online and IRL social interaction: I am 18. I [i]HATE[/i] 90% of people my age or younger. The generation I was born in is a total disgrace to humanity as a whole, and I am ashamed to be a part of it. I prefer to hang out with people much older than me, because most of them aren't total idiots. When I come across one that [i]is[/i] a total idiot, I boot them, too. I don't care how old you are, I just don't talk to idiots. However, the discrimination against kids online usually doesn't have anything to do with that. There are a few crappy excuses that are often thrown around. Voice? Age has nothing to do with that. My voice sucks. Maturity? I've met a select few people who are younger than me, but much more mature. Rare, but possible. Volume? Literally the easiest thing to fix. Talk more quietly. [i]This fix works for all ages.[/i] Tl;Dr - Just -blam!-ing read it. It isn't hard.
