Aniston (54) who rose to overnight fame after playing Rachel Green in Hit 1990s sitcom, shared that people nowadays are more sensitive to jokes than they used to be, making it "Really hard for comedians."

"There's whole generation of people, kids, who are now going back to episodes of Friends and find them offensive," Just Go with It actress acknowledged.

Aniston's statement sparked debate on Twitter, with some criticising Aniston for not recognising problematic aspects of show. "I love FRIENDS, but there's lot that hasn't aged well (lack of racial representation, "Fat Monica," Chandler's "dad," etc) and I think this kind of criticism should be encouraged instead of shamed. –Agencies
