I never really tolerated this take on the show. And how many often accused Matt and Trey of being libertarians or even downright bigots even though they’re trying to make a socialist statement on civilisation or the topic of the week like gay marriage and treatment of disability in media and how people could potentially be faking it for exploitation both of which were actually very well done and progressive especially the tourettes example.

Also they’ve ruthless mocked Trump in a story arc not only once but twice. And their latest season is so aggressively ruthless and savage, It feels like they’re doing more for the liberal No Kings uprising than The current democratic party leaders who are all talk and no substance.

I’m not saying I don’t fully disagree with people’s disdain for the show (primarily the trans community. I can see why they hate South Park’s guts) but to consider it a permanent stain on basic human decency and a horrid influence for milennials is honestly pretty hair splitting if you’d ask me.

Am I missing something here within these folks? is punching sideways/mocking everyone equally really any worst than complete douchebags straight up punching down for the sake of pissing off the unfortunate because they find it hilarious (Looking at you Tony Hinchcliffe, and Babylon Bee)? Are the South Park guys really to blame for shaping an entire demographic into not caring about any Global Disputes with Current Affairs? Or did the boundaries pushing and subtle satire simply got lost in people who either grewed up into the very thing they were mocking or viewed it as a cesspool of nihlist Slop?

    believing in stuff makes you stupid about that stuff.

    Those Frat boy Bullies and tyrants are all over lemmy and other social media. If you can’t see that, you’re one of them. There are also real incidents of abuse and harassment on college campuses where good people are getting fired and sued over harmless actions like not using gender neutral pronouns in their emails or some ridiculous crap. Bullying and harassing people into your ‘cause’ is should never be socially acceptable.

    The reason so many folks are so insanely hostile over social justice is they believe in it, and they think violence is justified in it’s name. They don’t think it’s something to stand up for, they think it’s something to beat people down with, literally.

      That’s such a stupid take.

      People who are “hostile” over social justice, are hostile against social injustice. Social injustice is violent, in many many ways.

      Your take is basically “I don’t like these people, because they are violent against violence to try to fix it”. I’m sure that stagnating in violence is better than to try to fix it, huh.

      Tell me that you’re a privileged brat without telling me that you’re a privileged brat.
