Were the super-hit F.R.I.E.N.D.S sitcom (which is probably the most repeatedly-aired show in several Mid-East channels for some reason - surf through Arabic cable channels and you'll likely see it running in at least two) to air in today's times,
Which of these would have greater odds that today's super-woke crowd would object to it, and get the show cancelled or incontrovertibly mutilated to make it politically correct and completely unfunny?
1. Joey's attitudes towards women, and Monica, Rachel and Phoebe's acceptance and non-objection to the same.
2. Rachel's portrayal of fashionable but dumb city girls
3. Fat-shaming of Monica's past
I don't have any objection to any of these - I love the Friends sitcom precisely for its imperfectness. But measure it by today's supposed standards and you might scratch at the surface of why people are getting sick and tired of the SJWs / woke crowd.
