My Mom is Staying Here Right Now And Insists on Watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S · 8:53pm May 30th, 2020
I can hear it in the next room, and I'm remembering how much I despise it
Why the hell do so many people give this show a pass for it's cringy hateful bullshit?
Seriously, I'll never understand why this show hasn't fallen out of view like the dated trash it is.
Hateful? How so?

It's insane how many homophobic, sexist, and occasionally racist 'jokes' you find by just sitting somewhere in ear shot while it plays in the background. A lot of them aren't even framed as jokes, they just come out at random moments in a conversation.
Even the original writers have admitted it in the past, they claim they regret it of course, calling it just a 'product of the times', but the fact is they still wrote those lines knowing what they were doing, so, no valid excuses there.
