I agree on HIMYM. I used to love it, but some really are awful people (particularly Lily IMO). It’s not ageing well, and Barney’s behaviour really is indefensible. I don’t think his character would be allowed nowadays
Honestly it wouldn’t have been allowed back then except for the fact that an openly gay man who could pass as straight was still a novel and funny idea.
As a sidenote Neil Patrick Harris is a million times worse in Harold and Kumar, but that somehow aged better on account of everything in those movies being comically offensive.
