In a show with fantastic casting, she’s clearly the crown jewel.

“why do I have to care that someone is customizing their single player game to not see things they don’t want to in theirs?”

Maybe you don’t, but the mod distribution site this person used to disseminate their homophobic mod certainly can, and can tell that person they are no longer welcome to do so.

“How are you any better?”

Easily. Being homophobic and criticizing someone for being homophobic are not equal.

I mean, if any Skyrim mod promotes homophobia and eliminates anything that promotes equality, then yes, they should be next...

i would hate hate hate her as tomb raider, but i would love ‘untitled aubrey plaza action/adventure/heist movie’

It feels weird that we’re saying Friends should’ve had more ‘stories about the experiences of being a person of color’ when it didn’t really do a great job reflecting the average experience of being a white person.

And I implore my fellow white people not to criticize other white people speaking on behalf of non-white people on behalf of non-white people!

Sometimes I wonder if these quotes are butchered and presented out of context in order to drive clicks. /s

This article feels like it’s written as a criticism but I came away from it feeling like everyone involved with the show is being pretty reasonable.

You want to have Friends in Bayville?

Cross-pollination happened in the show often. Rachel dated Joey and Ross. Chandler’s on/off girlfriend Janice slept with Ross. Joey dated a girl named Kathy who eventually changed him out for Chandler. It wasn’t just a POC thing, although if you’re Joey and/or Ross and Gabrielle Union and Aisha Tyler are in your area,…

So maybe don’t watch this show that aired 2 decades ago? I’m not sure how anyone’s supposed to fix it now, except maybe admit that “yup, we’d probably do things differently now.”

[shrugs] It’s a term that exists, like how they call getting pregnant after 35 a "geriatric" pregnancy. It's a silly term, imo, but whatever.

yah she’s clearly saying they could have brought on Black writers, but Friends wrote a lot of pretty cringey face palm things so I think we should all be happy they didn’t try to write from a Black perspective in their main cast.

When you a date a Friend you date all the Friends.

>>However, Kudrow does ignore that in the 236 episodes of Friends, the creators didn’t think to hire a few more people who could write stories about the experiences of being a person of color.<<

Isn’t the protagonist 17? I hesitate to even call 21 year olds “in the their 20's”. And besides, this is exactly how many girls in their late teens/early 20s speak, where have you been?

Yeah, considering it’s heavy meme material and is getting referenced over and over, I’d say it functionally is a GREAT ad trailer.

Don’t forget the Usher remix

The trailer looks cringe, but I won’t complain about a meme mine. In some respects, this going viral might actually be exactly what they were hoping for, so perhaps it was deliberate? “There is no bad publicity”.
