Boomers. How can anyone not grasp that? It's as if the insult is like water to fish, so people don't even perceive it.

Is calling someone boomer an insult in itself?

I get that saying “boomer ruined the world for all the generations afterwards” is an insult, but the word itself is now considered an insult?

Genuinely asking here; the constantly shifting landscape of what one is allowed to say when talking to US Americans is a bit hard for me to navigate and I currently only have online discourse as guidepost (which is like 1000% more toxic)
