My opinion on Barney's return. I expected something better than what we got.
I expected more from Barney's return. And this STD thing is totally what woke and not able writers would write about Barney. But it was kinda creepy. I think a more creative and good way to write Barney without offending the sjw is: Okay,lets not talk about his womanizing past anymore,but lets still him be his charming and charismatic self he is always been. Make him more like a "nerdy" (altough this is probably not the right term,but i hope i make my point) challenge-loving person,who gets in fun challenges to get money or to win something,and always wins in a absurd way,and a guy who gives "wise" (according to him,but sometimes really wise) advices to his friends in a funny way. I think this would be a better way to write a "modern" Barney than making him like a criminal with a device on his leg. Also,NPH was great but i had the impression that sometimes he didnt knew well how to play this "new" Barney. Maybe this is the last time we see Barney on HIMYF,but if a HIMYM reunion ever happens,lets hope they write him in a better way.
