Matt LeBlanc Hits Back At Snowflakes Who Think “Friends” Is Sexist And Homophobic

Friends ENDED almost 18 years ago.

Can you even?

Little Emma is now a legal adult.

Anyway… I mentioned a few weeks back and the “Woke” millennial crowd decided “Friends” is SUPER RACIST AND SEXIST AND HOMOPHOBIC AND TRANSPHOBIC AND FATPHOBIC.

Is fatphobic a thing? They make fun of fat people. OH! BODY SHAMING! I almost forgot the SJW word for that! Sorry.

Anyway, Matt LeBlanc, who played one of the now “controversial” characters on the show, thinks that’s all nonsense.

According to this:

Matt LeBlanc has defended Friends after it was criticised by millennials for ‘homophobic, transphobic and sexist’ storylines, insisting the show has stood the test of time.

The actor, who played Joey Tribbiani in the sitcom, argued that because of the way it handled universal themes like love and relationships, the show hasn’t dated since it ended almost 18 years ago.

Speaking to the BBC, LeBlanc, 50, who is soon to return to his role as a Top Gear presenter, explained: ‘I’ve heard those rumors too about people taking pot shots at Friends, but I don’t want to get into that. I disagree with all that.

‘On Top Gear we tend to steer clear of any sort of political content, nothing too topical.

‘On Friends we steered clear of that kind of thing, too. Friends was about themes that stand the test of time – trust, love, relationships, betrayal, family and things like that.’

However, he added that he doesn’t enjoy making ‘politically incorrect’ jokes because they lose their relevancy pretty quickly.

See Matt… here’s where you’re mistaken!

“Friends” steered clear of things that were considered offensive at the time. But now EVERYTHING is offensive. Including many of the jokes on this previously non-offensive show.

That’s just how it works now, buddy.

LeBlanc’s character was at the centre of one of the main criticisms of the show’s politically incorrectness, with Joey mocking Monica Geller’s weight by saying ‘some girl ate Monica!’ when he saw an old video of her.

And that’s FAR from being the only joke people NOW have an issue with.

Other plots that were called out included the treatment of Chandler Bing’s father who was mocked by his son and the rest of the gang for his drag act, which has been deemed to be transphobic by modern viewers.

The show was also slammed for other topical issues such as a lack of racial diversity in the cast and sexism towards Rachel Green’s male nanny.

While the show hasn’t gone down so well with younger viewers, diehard fans are still clinging on to hope of a reunion show or film starring the original cast.

Because younger viewers are all snowflakes that can’t take a joke.

Jennifer Aniston recently hinted at the possibility of a reunion when she appeared on Ellen.

‘Anything is a possibility, Ellen. Anything. I mean, George Clooney got married … that’s like an anything can happen,’ she said.

The rest of the cast haven’t been so keen on the idea, including LeBlanc, who previously said he ‘doesn’t see’ it happening.

Can’t wait to watch the new and improved “totally not offensive and sanitized for snowflake audiences” Friends.

JK… it sounds awful.
