Reasons Gen Z Finds 'Friends' Problematic

1) Jennifer Aniston comments on how Gen Z was finding the show very problematic

Jennifer Aniston, who famously played Rachel in Friends, in a conversation with AFP, said, “There’s a whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of 'Friends' and find them offensive. There were things that were never intentional and others, well, we should have thought it through, but I don’t think there was a sensitivity like there is now. Everyone is far too divided.”

Monica Geller, famously played by Courteney Cox, who grows up to be a chef, is constantly body-shamed in many scenes for being overweight during her teenage days.

Friends also brought transphobia into the picture with Chandler, played by Matthew Perry, mocking his own father, who works as a drag queen in Las Vegas, in many scenes.

In many scenes of the popular sitcom, women are objectified by the male characters, especially Joey, played by Matt LeBlanc. In one of the scenes, Joey even compares women to ice-creams.

In one of the scenes, Ross, played by David Schwimmer, gets very uncomfortable with his daughter Emma having a male nanny.

Ross, who was in a relationship with Rachel, gets extremely possessive when she goes out with her colleague Mark and assumes there was something going on between the two.

There's a scene in the episode 'The One with the Metaphorical Tunnel' where Ross gets extremely upset when his son wants to play with a Barbie doll and goes to every extent to make him want to play with action figurines.

Friends, one of the most popular sitcoms of all time, that ran for almost a decade, recently became the talk of the town after Jennifer Aniston made a comment on how Gen Z was finding the show very problematic and offensive. GenZ has called out the show on social media for being too edgy and offensive.
