I knew this from a long time, but I don't go around and spew it and ruin a classic.
Nothimh is perfect, even Shakespeare was faulty at times. The guy who is responsible for making up a part of the language in which we are communicating. Even Disney and other big studios were wrong somewhere.
They made this show, during the time when this type of comedy was prevalent. It's not their fault that we have become more sensible and aware nowadays.
Maybe ironic given the gist of this post but I'm with you. Putting asides that age gap is a personal thing between adults- It was a subject they frequently brought up and addressed, and Monica was the aggressor in the relationship which Richard was reluctant about. Would it be better if they treated Monica as too stupid to be responsible for her own decisions and had Richard "know better" and "tell her what she really wants" by sending her off with "you're too young"?
Oh no. How dare they. A modern perspective has has shown that people were shitty 25 years ago? Oh the humanity, how could someone ruin the show that we all hold so dear. That’s it. The internet’s cancelled.
This isn't a millennial problem. Disney has never released Song of the South on VHS despite their first release being in 1981- before millennials. Millennials weren't the first to try and ban books from public schools and libraries like Tom Sawyer. Going back thousands of years we can see works being criticized for no longer acceptable content. Any work which was acceptable in its time may later be seen as outdated or offensive. Cocker changes but media is preserved as it was made. Can it still be enjoyed is an even dicier issue that hasn't been conclusively agreed upon. Why is it ok to watch a woman beater play sports, read a book by a murderer, watch a film by a child molester? When do we separate the parts that make a thing and decide it is or isn't ok? If you like friends watch it. Stream, DVD, whatever. It isn't ruined if you still enjoy it. If you don't like it or it offends you, there's plenty more to watch or do so go enjoy your life elsewhere.
Um aren't we supposed to keep things with these types of humor around so we can see that at one point it was accepted? Those who do not learn history are deemed to repeat it. You can find a problem within any program, especially comedy. That is the point of comedy.
Yes, but we gotta put old outdated media in the context of “this was ok then, it’s not ok now”. There’s nothing wrong with pointing out that the show has flaws. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying said flawed show. But if you watch it without acknowledging that some parts of it are not ok by modern standards, people are gonna think that that stuff is ok today.
I'm sitting there, trying to understand what a millenial actually is. I thought it was people born in the 2000s', but I've been told it's rather the people born in the end of the 80s'... So, people who grew up with Friends are ruining Friends ? Dear "journalists", could you please stop using a word that nobody understands / agrees on and focus on actual interesting news ?
