Tell Us Which '90s TV Shows And Movies Aged Like Milk
Plenty of movies and TV shows — no matter how popular they were in their day — have aged poorly by today's standards. The '90s was no exception.
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!
