I would trade my right arm to be young enough that I get offended when people call me “young.” Youth is really wasted on 20- and 30-somethings.


Imagine this happened to Oprah (when she was younger) and somebody said "it is nice of him to try to take the heat off of a young content creator".


Roger Ebert helped Orpah when she was young (about the same age, 32ish) just before she exploded in popularity. I can't imagine Oprah being offended in that situation or seeing it as being patronizing.


I meant after she exploded in popularity.


That would be pretty weird because basically everyone knows who Oprah is but nothing wrong other than that.
