Do you think social attitudes have remained stagnant in the last 20 years?

Of course I don't. But "I'm offended friends is a product of its time" is not a commonly held opinion. You can acknowledge that social attitudes have changed without being upset that the show was made. Hell you can even enjoy the show but ultimately recognize that this isn't the current opinion.
I love boy meets world. There's a lot of fun stuff that holds up just as good as when it was made. Theres a lot of stuff that is a product of its time. I listen to the rewatch pod the cast does. They do a great job of breaking down the show, and they're not really ever offended by it. There's a very powerful scene in season 1 where a racial slur is used. Probably wouldn't be accepted today. They questioned why looking back that one was used when another one was cut earlier in the episode. But they weren't offended and they acknowledge it was a powerful scene. Just that it wouldn't be made today
