yeah it was creepy as shit, and I'm not just saying that cause I love Monica and Chandler

[(Anonymous)]

But... Tom!!!

Actually, Friends. Who cares?

[(Anonymous)]

+1 to both your sentiments.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it would've been less problematic if they hadn't made it clear the guy was a close friend of Monica's parents. Because there are women in their mid-twenties who date older guys. The show actually demonstrated why it might be a Bad Idea. But that she might as well have been his niece... yeah, icky.

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't watched friends since I was a kid so in all seriousness, why would it be considered problematic?

I always liked them better then Monica and Chandler, oop.

[gaffsie]

I thought the show handled their relationship pretty well for a sitcom. The age thing was addressed, and I always found their breakup really heart-wrenching. I was, however, not down for the return of that big... TREERichard when she and Chandler were dating. It was unnecessary.

(it should probably be noted that I lovelovelove age-differences in my ships, so I might not be the right person to judge)

[(Anonymous)]

I thought it was well-done too. My ONLY issue was that Richard was a close family friend of the Gellar's, which added a creepier note to it. Even Rachel remembered him well from when she was little, so clearly he wasn't someone Monica only saw every so often, either. And I completely agree that bringing him back for teh dramaz was completely unnecessary. But other than that, I actually thought it was really well handled.

I do love Mondler, though. (I thought they were the best main couple in the show. Honestly, I felt like it was their story more than Rachel and Ross's, as individuals as well as being a couple.)

[(Anonymous)]

I have never seen you before, but I love your user name!

[nightscale]

I remember liking their relationship, but I like age-gaps in ships so that never bothers me in fiction.

[ceebeegee]

"You're the twinkie?!" That line always made me laugh.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought their relationship was creepy when I first saw the show, but I was actually pretty into it when I rewatched it years later. I think I acquired a thing for age gaps over the years, oops

[(Anonymous)]

I'm typically all for age gaps in my fiction and in my real life (I'm 30 in case that makes a difference) but the fact Richard had been such a close friend of Monica's parents for so long does make it kind of weird even for me. In the end, I was glad she and Chandler were endgame.

[(Anonymous)]

I thought it was super-hot, whoops.

[herpymcderp]

Well, I'm of the opinion that every character on that show was a ginormous asshole, so I have to say I agree with you OP.

I tried to watch it, but I was put off every time by how distasteful they all were.

[(Anonymous)]

Stop it.

[(Anonymous)]

Can y'all say GROOMING?

[(Anonymous)]

She's of legal age, what's the fucking problem?

[(Anonymous)]

Oh JFC...

[(Anonymous)]

Oh honey, they said that long before Tumblr.

[(Anonymous)]

But mustache rides.

[(Anonymous)]

+1000

[(Anonymous)]

I thought they were a cute couple, and Tom Selleck was an amazing guest star throughout. The only misstep was when Monica and Richard's son tried to smooch after that arc ended.

[(Anonymous)]

Not as problematic and gross as Ross being a professor, dating a student, then Rachel (who is younger than Ross) dating said student's dad.
Ick. Very ick.
(Mostly ick for Ross being Ross. Ick.)

[(Anonymous)]

No one would have bashed it as creepy and gross because the 90s weren't overrun by a bunch of self-righteous prudes.
