People have already mentioned sexism, so I'll add "abuse is funny if it's female on male" or whatever the trope is. It was standard in 90's comedy, and I just don't find it funny anymore.

Also, Rent. I loved Rent when I was nineteen and all about sticking it to THE MAN, but while I still love the music, the characters come off as super entitled to me.

+1000 OMG I agree with "abuse is funny when its female on male

Particularly scenes where a women hurts a guy grievously for a comment that, often hardly warrants it. The woman just comes off looking like an asshole.

Also....most groin attack scenes. I can't laugh because I'm busy thinking "Geez that would kill a dude, or at least make them pass out".

Ahaha, I was literally just talking with a friend from high school about how the older we get, the more we sympathize with Benny in "RENT!" Yes, bills suck, but let a brother do his job.

Plus, HE WAS OFFERING THEM A STUDIO. Like a high-quality production studio! For nothing! That, to me, proves that these little shits don't care about their art, they care about their oh-so-precious lifestyle, their fantasy vacation as poor people. They are literally offered a choice between making art and living like bums, and they emphatically pick the latter.

Still love the show, but dang.

Thank you; as a guy, all those years of "lol, men being abused is hilarious" kinda got to me. Nice to hear that people are finding it less and less acceptable.

Oh god, Rent. My theater club's attempt to stage it ended up in not only losing most of our new or potential members, but also some of the old ones quitting the club AND the board forbidding people from directing alone or without the board checking on them. The one good thing is that it fell apart before we had time to advertise or rent the stage.

In hindsight some of the actors fit the characters a bit too well.
