I watched the movie again last night. Sure, it’s not perfect (Wedding is my favourite, and then 2), and some here may think it’s too Jewish, but I still genuinely like it. Like, it’s no worse than the original Mean Girls or Superbad, and it hasn’t aged that badly. Some of the humour is still reasonably current - it’s literally where we got “MILF” from, after all!
Yet Zoomers won’t watch it (but Rocky Horror is ok, because it’s “queer”?) and the “new media” constantly calls it problematic, to the point of at least one “viral” article a year to that effect, which is just… Pathetic really. Especially since even my extremely normie, straight-laced parents had to admit that they have chuckled at it a few times…
Honestly, I just wish I had first seen the movie when I was a teen, rather than in my twenties. I probably could have done with a dose of that, growing up.
Also, prime Tara Reid, Natasha Lyonne and Shannon Elizabeth (though not Alyson Hannigan or Mena Suvari, IMHO), so there’s that, too…
Functioning societies take various steps to mitigate and mask women's hatred of non-Chads. The sexual revolution destroyed those mitigation measures one by one, and by the turn of the century the mask was all that was left. Millennial men watched the mask come off and Zoomer men are the first generation to grow up without any shielding from the ugly truth. The real question is why Zoomer men aren't even more right wing than they are.

I never tire of that article.
