    every single day of my life someone compares me to Sheldon Cooper or Phoebe from Friends depending on what gender they think I am and I refuse to learn who these characters are

      As someone who has been on the same room while my parents watched friends growing up, Phoebe is actually pretty based

        Phoebe's background was that of an anarchist crust punk in the text of the show. It's often played for laughs/mockery but she's unintentionally and unironically the only one that seems like someone I would actually hang out with.

        I grew up with family obsessed with friends I think I've seen every episode. It's a garbage show with garbage politics and even worse writing somehow but Phoebe at least has some redeeming qualities even if the show is trying to mock them.
