Millennials watching Friends on Netflix shocked at how problematic it is ​ | The Independent
Looking that article, the people who are claiming this are people who are rewatching after watching it in their 20s. So not millenial snowflakes, just idiots.
"Chandler was paranoid about being perceived as a gay man or made mean-spirited jokes about his cross-dressing dad"
"Sexism seeps in when Rachel hires a nanny for her daughter Emma, but Emma’s father Ross can’t handle the fact that the nanny is a man. Ross takes it one step further to being homophobic by asking if he’s gay."
Right... and nowadays no one would be worried about being thought they might be gay. And no one makes jokes about cross dressers (who aren't necessarily transexuals anyway, but let's ignore that cross-dress-phobic point). And nobody's concerned about male child carers. And sitcom characters have to be all entirely non-sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic (I always disliked the Ross character anyway).
"New audiences claimed that Rachel would have been fired for sexual harassment because she hires an assistant who isn’t qualified for the position because she wants to date him.". It's a sitcom. It's not supposed to be real. Even though it does become soap-like.
"There’s also the controversial relationship between Monica and her father’s best friend who’s 20 years older than her, but it was perceived as even more uncomfortable in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and #MeToo stories." Well.. That just shows that ageism is alive and well in 2018.
In Big Bang Theory there's casual racism from all characters against Koothrapali, and Sheldon's mum is an out and out religious bigot. How I Met Your Mother had a hugely sexist character in the shape of Barney (and not many dark skinned people in that, even though it's set in New York).
What a load of codswallop. Click bait from the Indie, probably sponsored by Netflix.

The ongoing liberal left destruction of male identity disgusts me.
Soon we will need underground parties where we can talk about big boobs and loose sexual morals.
This is fine until the tulip hits the fan and we need our men to do bad stuff. That's when we will see the cost of this identity theft.Comment

And yet people watch Mrs Brown's Boys...?
Every single one of us has a level of prejudice inside us, even if we don't do the big ticket prejudices any more, like skin colour, gender or sexuality.
For too long, people were told what to be offended about, and now we have a generation of people offended about absolutely everything.
A local Girl's school has banned referring to females as girls or ladies, because it "reminds them of their gender". It is almost as if we are telling women to actually be ashamed of being women. It is their identity, and over 99.9% of females identify themselves as female.
Do not refer to female pupils as 'girls' or 'ladies' because it 'reminds them of their gender', headteachers told
Did I feel a little uneasy when SWMBO saw a male midwife during pregnancy? Yes. Does that really make me a bad person? In the immediate aftermath of the attack at Manchester Arena, did I view 'brown people' carrying rucksacks with a bit more suspicion? Yes.
People will always have some kind of prejudice. It is human nature.Taking a break from contractingComment
