Really? Even when it was a new movie, the whole point of those scenes and much of the rest of the film was that this was how people acted in the distant past, and it was clearly no longer acceptable.

I was talking about the Eddie Murphy "Norton? I've been lookin' at you... lookin'' at me..." routine.

speaking of something that aged poorly, i just caught the ending of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective on cable and hollllly shit that comes super hateful now
yeah I recently rewatched it and it goes from "this is actually still really funny" to "wow that comes off poorly" really quickly. I would guess there's a whole host of 80's/90's films that in retrospect were super homo/transphobic
Revenge of the Nerds is also a pretty egregious example...no gay panic but there's a scene that's basically straight up rape which ultimately becomes the hero's triumph. its gross.

lol "basically" is unnecessary hedging

there's a much more recent film which has a similar scene played similarly but i can't for the life of me remember what it is

Someone posted a newspaper article (taken from a cellphone, obv.) on my NextDoor group about two people who had been arrested for smoking meth in a crawlspace. Her comment was "Freakin' crackheads!"
I mean, not to split hairs or anything, but "meth head" is part of the national vernacular now, but also, there's way too much racism bounded up in the word "crackhead" for it to ever be used, especially by Gladys Kriavitz of the Oak Meadow neighborhood group.
