[Feather]

What are some movies/shows/or scene that would not survive/receive backlash if released today?

[Feather]

 

[Freakshowvato]

Lizzie McGuire… so outdated yet so good at the time 

 

most early 2000s would flop if released today bc the plot lines were too simple yet not iconic enough like the 80s and 90s shows

[Power love]

Prison break

[feelslikeadream]

The original Queer as Folk where the 30-year-old man is sleeping with a 15-year-old and no one cares.

[KnightOfAllRealms]

How I met your mother the amount of racist jokes

Glee is cringe by today standards

The transformers movies are shameless in their misoginy

White Chicks, even though it's hilarious I can just imagine the outrage on twitter 

[TaylorNation]

The House Bunny and That Awkward Moment  are “recent” enough but totally sexist and ****** up

[sugarysunflower]

Scary Movies 1 & 2

[tshwark]

Karen Walker would be so canceled.

[State of Grace.]

Chuck tried to rape Jenny in the first episode of Gossip Girl so

[harwee]

Its Always Sunny In Phiadelphia.

 

Even though it is a satire, it took awhile for viewers to see the first few seasons as such. Cancel is swift now.

The show was popular in the southern college dorms, until they realize in the later seasons that the joke's on them.

the way this gem deals with homosexuality as a casual topic is unheard of in many modern children shows. 
 

Tomoyo even has a crush on Sakura when she’s her literal cousin

Not another Teen Movie. Todays teens would cancel it. Even tho it’s amazing and actually funny. Same for the Scary Movies and the early 2000’s black comedies? what an era.
