Default Why Friends would be taboo today

Quote:
Friends was a massive success during its initial 10-season run but, like a lot of sitcoms of its generation, there were some aspects that have become outdated, and might not hold up by today's entertainment standards. Here's why even the show's super-fans might agree that Friends would probably be taboo if it originally aired now.
The ones with all the white people

The ones with all the cultural stereotyping

The ones with all the homophobia

The ones with the transphobia

The ones with all the misogyny

The ones with the age differences

The ones with the nervous breakdowns

The ones with the bullying
