Why is Aunty an offensive term?

Aunty is not a poisonous vituperative and violent attack that destroys someone's character and image. It is an extraordinarily mild and innocuous term. When you are say even about 25, most young kids will call you uncle or aunty. Above 40? Definitely. People have called me uncle, why on earth would I be offended?


Shamita launched nasty attacks against Umar and Teja. She repeatedly and non-stop character assassinated Umar by calling him violent, she destroyed Afsana's image, she called Teja insecure, she called Ieshaan and Simba ill-bred, uncouth etc. and what not.


And Aunty is the offensive term?????? What horrifying ivory tower are the Shetty sisters living in?

Do u know why women hide their age and men hide their salaries ?

Can a 30 year old call a 42 year old as aunty? There has to be a considerable age difference …try calling ur own age ladies or 10 years less ladies aunty and let us know how it goes …

One word - CONTEXT


Context is important. Teja said it when Shamita was giving a massage to her so called BF . She said " Aunty chad gyi " .

FYI its not just age shaming but sl*t shaming too.

If it is a term used in jest, there's no problem in the world. I guess I am not seeing the problem at all. Is it a language thing? That it is offensive in Hindi. Because let me assure, it is not offensive in English.
