‘Friends’ offensive to ‘a whole generation of kids’ - Jennifer Aniston
While promoting her new film, Jennifer Aniston said to a French news agency "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."

As all of fan of the beloved sitcom "Friends," it's important to remember that the show first aired in 1994 and concluded in 2004. In those days, the social and cultural landscape was quite different from what it is today. While "Friends" provided laughter and entertainment for millions of fans worldwide, it is not surprising that some of its content may seem outdated or even offensive to a new generation. Jennifer Aniston, one of the show's leading stars, has acknowledged that some elements of "Friends" might be considered offensive to a younger audience. This doesn't necessarily mean that the entire show is offensive, but rather that some jokes or situations may not align with the values and sensibilities of today's society.

As fans, we can appreciate the show for the light-hearted entertainment it provided during its time, while also recognizing that certain aspects might not be as well-received today. "Friends" is a product of its era, and like many other popular shows from the past, it can sometimes reflect the attitudes and prejudices of the time. Despite these concerns, "Friends" remains a beloved classic, celebrated for its iconic characters, memorable catchphrases, and timeless humor. As fans, we can continue to enjoy the show for its core elements of friendship, love, and laughter, while also being mindful of the ways in which it might not have aged gracefully.
