I’m 26 years old and I respect the elders. But I hate it when older people try to act radical and hype in an effort to pander to youths, because it’s just not sincere. People should embrace the stage of their lives they’re at and do whatever is natural for them. But I don’t think Takei is pandering to LGBT youth. I think he’s just bitter and resentful. And like a lot of celebrities, George Takei is out of touch with reality.

I know a gay man in his sixties who's a columnist/journalist, and he's constantly trying to position himself on the cutting edge of wokeness. I'd say it's obvious to everyone that he's pandering in order to stay employed.

It doesn’t surprise me anymore. A lot of old gay men still have the Peter Pan syndrome.

We're the same age. Weirdly I always imagine you as 50 years old well maybe not that old but older than that, you're so mature sounding.

Comments can be deceiving, haha. Yeah, 26. Which isn’t young, but was considered old thousands of years ago. I am an introvert, so a lot of my friends are older or younger than me. Mostly older.

26 is still incredibly young. Especially nowadays.

Nowadays, now that lifespan is much longer in many countries than it used to be, you mean?

For a second I thought you were responding to JulienMayfair and was like "Damn, I didn't think Elvira was 50."

I agree wholeheartedly. Being an inconsistent and belligerent twitter personality is pathetic at that age in life. What makes takei’s twitter presence that different from Trump except his political party?
