I think it’s because Thank You/You’re Welcome is more common in older people, and that saying “No problem” makes it seem as if there’s a problem in thanking someone, I guess?
I certainly have seen some older people say things like “it’s not a problem at all” after being thanked, meaning their efforts to help didn’t put them out or anything. “No problem” is maybe a bit more shorthand/slangy I guess but otherwise it just really does not seem like it should be controversial at all to me.
As someone who frequently says “No problem” after someone thanks me for helping them, I’m now worried someone has taken that the wrong way.
I don’t get why its bad to say that/why people would take it the wrong way?
