**Reddit User Asks "AITA For Refusing To Watch 'Friends' Since Matthew Perry Died, Saying It's 'Too Painful'?"**
**[NEW YORK] -** In a move that has absolutely shattered the boundaries of performative grief, a user claiming to be a "superfan" has revealed they can no longer look at a Central Perk couch without sobbing into their pumpkin spice latte. The user, u/DrowningInMyOwnChannel, posted an incredibly serious AITA thread detailing how they've banned all reruns of *Friends* because "Chandler's sarcasm just hits different now."
"I was watching the one where Ross says 'Pivot,' and I just felt a profound emptiness," the user wrote. "Now every time I see Matthew Perry's eyes, I just remember his memoir and feel the weight of addiction. My roommate said she wanted to watch 'The One With The Embryos' and I literally screamed, 'HE'S DEAD, LINDA.' AITA for taking down our 'Smelly Cat' poster?"
The thread predictably devolved into a cesspool of internet drama, with Reddit’s finest armchair psychologists weighing in.
**Top Comments:**
- **u/DrPhilOnMain:** "INFO: Did you even read *Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing* before deciding his life was a monologue? YTA for pretending you knew him because you watched him on a TV screen."
- **u/ChandlerBingBong:** "NTA. The laugh track is literally the sound of his ghost now. I can't watch the episode where he says 'Could I *be* wearing any more clothes?' without seeing the headline 'Ketamine overdose.' It’s way too meta."
- **u/SentientSpoon:** "YTA. This is just a cry for attention. You probably didn't even cry when they cancelled *Joey*."
