Tell Us Which '90s TV Shows And Movies Aged Like Milk
For example, the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" was played as a joke, but in the current political climate and with reports of a certain prominent public figure seemingly doing a Nazi salute, it comes across as way too flippant a use of such a word.
And when I first watched the Saved by the Bell episode where Screech plays chess against a Russian exchange student, I remember being shocked by how casually they bullied him for being a "commie."
And in the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective scene where Ace reveals that Lt. Lois Einhorn is a trans woman by ripping off her clothes is just grossly anti-trans — and it's an example of a harmful trope where a character's gender identity is used as a big reveal or twist.
So, what's a scene from a '90s TV show or movie that has aged poorly, in your opinion? Why? Share your answers in the comments, and they may be featured in an upcoming BuzzFeed Community post!

Woman Told She's Getting Miniature Poodle—2 Months Later Realizes Mistake
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman who thought she had brought home a miniature poodle puppy quickly realized something wasn't quite right. The woman, who posts to TikTok under the username @poodlediariesvlog, shared a clip on June 28, holding up the new puppy she got from a breeder in Atlanta, Georgia. She asked simply: "Does this look like a mini poodle? This dog is literally so huge." Sure enough, two-month-old puppy Ace already looks almost as big as full-grown miniature poodles, who as adults weigh up to 15 pounds, and grow up to 15 inches tall, according to the American Kennel Club. And while the puppy does appear to have a curly golden coat, the woman said that when she took Ace to get his shots, the veterinarians told her straight out: "This is not a miniature poodle." "And I'm like, 'oh that's crazy, because the breeder said it was,'" she said. She was then told that it was likely Ace is "some type of Doodle," a poodle crossed with a different breed—and so she asked TikTok for their opinions. And users responded in their droves, watching the video close to 200,000 times, as one predicted Ace was actually a Goldendoodle, while one thought: "Girl that's a golden retriever." One urged everyone to only buy purebreds that are AKC registered, which "ensures the poodle is full-bred." The AKC permanently records a dog's place in their breed history, providing an official AKC Registration Certificate, and adding to the world's largest database of dog DNA profiles for parentage verification and genetic identity. This ensures reliable registration records, according to the AKC website. Other commenters pleaded for the woman to still keep and love Ace regardless of his breed, as one put it: "You got a much better beautiful." Ace and his owner. Ace and his owner. TikTok @poodlediariesvlog The mystery of Ace's continued for weeks, until on July 24, she posted another video declaring: "DNA results are in." And it revealed that Ace is not a full miniature poodle, but a mix of a toy or miniature poodle, and 10 percent cocker spaniel, making him a cockapoo—as well as, she wrote, "100 percent a good boy." For those worried Ace wouldn't be wanted as he wasn't a full miniature poodle, they had nothing to worry about. Instead, he's still a loved, pampered pet, and they even got a second puppy named Nala, a poodle, with their TikTok account now filled with the two dogs growing up together.

Filmmaker alleges ‘censorship' after Toronto Film Festival drops Oct. 7 Hamas attack documentary
The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) removed a documentary about the 2023 Hamas attack against Israel, citing legal issues with the footage. The film, "The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue," by Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich, details the account of retired Israeli Gen. Noam Tibon, who rescued his son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren on October 7. TIFF said the documentary was removed "because general requirements for inclusion in the festival, and conditions that were requested when the film was initially invited, were not met, including legal clearance of all footage," the Associated Press (AP) reported. The filmmakers alleged "censorship," according to the AP. "We are shocked and saddened that a venerable film festival has defied its mission and censored its own programming by refusing this film," the filmmakers said in a statement. "Ultimately, film is an art form that stimulates debate from every perspective that can both entertain us and make us uncomfortable." Cameron Bailey, the CEO of TIFF, pushed back on the censorship allegations in a statement on Wednesday. "My intention was to screen The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, which is why I extended the invitation for the film to participate in this year's festival. Given the sensitive and significant nature of the film's subject, I believe that it tells an important story and contributes to the rich tapestry of perspectives in our lineup — stories that resonate both here at home and around the world," Bailey said. "I want to be clear: claims that the film was rejected due to censorship are unequivocally false. I remain committed to working with the filmmaker to meet TIFF's screening requirements to allow the film to be screened at this year's festival. I have asked our legal team to work with the filmmaker on considering all options available," the statement continued. According to a report in Deadline, "Filmmakers were told they had to make editorial changes specifically identifying horrific footage that was livestreamed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, footage that had already been seen publicly. The festival claims it requested that the filmmakers not make changes, rather identify the source of the footage and confirmation of legal clearance." At the 2024 festival, TIFF pulled a film titled "Russians at War," the AP reported. The documentary covers Russian soldiers in their war against Ukraine. Protesters have called the film Russian propaganda, according to the AP.
