That's a surprisingly kind view of things, but yeah, my dad did mountaineering his whole life and fucked his knees proper, but also likes to enjoy good food, so now in his seventies and with diabetes creeping in, it's a perfect combo for becoming fat.

I guess it's a bit easier to mock Steven Seagal because he's been so fit in his movies throughout most of his career, and now it turns out he was an asshole all along, on top of looking like an asshat even when I loved his movies. But mocking him for being an older human still feels rather cheap.

We’re mocking him for becoming what he has become, not for aging.
