Let’s not glaze them too hard. South Park’s “both sides” bullshit, “giant douche or turd sandwich” politics and “ManBearPig” habit of treating earnest concern as proof that you were the sucker went a long way to convincing a generation or two of young men that cynically sneering at sincerity and being intellectual lazy is really very principled. I say this as a fan, but they realized FAR too late that the stakes were real, and there is a strong argument to be made that the US wouldn’t be where it is right now if not for Parker and Stone.
Yikes, if I glazed you just gave them the Marilyn manson/Columbine shooting treatment. A strong argument that the US wouldn’t be where it was if not for South Park? C’mon.
They’re at their best when others are nervous or scared or intimidated to approach a subject.
A strong argument that the US wouldn’t be where it was if not for South Park? C’mon.
Oh for fuck sake… Why, because they took LSD and wore dresses to the Emmys or whatever the fuck? They have affected absolutely no valuable change whatsoever.
The show is funny sometimes, but the satire has done nothing of value. Ever.
If anything, they’ve made things worse by mocking Al Gore and "both sides"ing literal fucking fascists
It’s almost so perfect I’d guess they named the show 28 years ago just so they could pull this off today.
Really? “Perfect?”
Honest question: why does everyone seem so impressed with this?
It’s sobering to think they are pretty close to the Thomas Paines of our time.
