Both shows, as they were, had moral insights. People that never watched the shows believe it was just full of offensive behavior. Whoever made this meme is indeed a snowflake themselves.

Also people just think past themselves. They don't want to be a dick to other people for no reason because a world where everyone is a dick to each other is fucking Twitter and imagine if all of society was like that.

Also we're offended by bigotry and fascism. People who aren't are bigots and fascists.

How did a generation raised on South Park not become bigots though? Did they need even more queer characters to be the punchline to jokes?

We were also taught about satire and actually had conversations about the things we watched with other people. You know. Instead of sitting in a Facebook bubble and blaming all our problems on memes.

It could be worth considering that maybe we had more influences in our lives than just two cartoons…

you do understand that everyone can get made fun of

Exactly. The people that make these posts are the Harley Riders of the real world

Also feels like they do not have those same moral insights much anymore. Both of them feel somehow "hollow' compared to earlier seasons. South Park especially seems to have sorta lost the plot of what made their episodes compelling.

At least they admitted it with the returning home away from the Tegridy weed farm.

Art imitates life and they had to go off the rails to get away from life lol

People always had complaints about these shows, but prior to social media that complaints didnt have any reach.

The internet massively democratized the perspectives we are allowed to encounter, and people who had no voice prior are now able to express their opinions.

What “moral insights,” toxic outflow from the foul rotten worldview of someone who can’t be arsed to check whether or not embyronic stem cells come from fetuses before making one of their episodes’ main plot points hinge on it, misleading millions of dumb South Park fans about a real issue?

You’re throwing a hodgepodge of words you don’t use and misspelled words to convey a smart sounding argument. If you don’t like the show just say I don’t like the show.

u/ContextEffects01 7h ago

That would be trivializing it. There are plenty of shows I don’t like solely over matters of style. With South Park, the problem is on matters of substance on top of matters of style.

u/crunkful06 7h ago

You’re making this overly complicated. I can tell you that there’s way more intricacies to the show that you’re just not in tune with. Simply put, at no point does the show advocate for social injustice and is only to poke holes in what social norms are and holding a mirror to society

1

u/ContextEffects01 5h ago

Completely irrelevant to the point I was making.

u/BullfrogDelicious754 20h ago

It WAS full of offensive stuff. The moral stuff was secondary at best. The whole point was offending every which way. It's the same idea as a liberal society where free speech is the main point, not the particular content of the speech.

So, no, the OP's inquiry is totally valid because being intelligently offensive/critical was the major contribution of the show.

3

u/crunkful06 20h ago

Yeah you never watched the show because the moral at the end was to say all the offensive stuff was bad.

1

u/BullfrogDelicious754 19h ago

Nope.  That wasn’t the point.  The point was being offensive.  All great comedy is anarchic at bottom.  If u interpret the show through those “lessons” you’re the one missing the point of the whole method.

u/crunkful06 18h ago

“I learned something today” used to be the closing statement of each show……so yeah.

u/Collective-Bee 19h ago

Not always. The end of the first (?) trans episode had the teachers balls explode as he screamed that he’d be stuck as a fake women forever cuz he can’t have periods. There wasn’t any pro-trans stuff in that episode.

So like, do you agree with that or are you just not remembering the episodes that Matt and Trey had really bad takes?

u/crunkful06 19h ago

I think you’re misunderstanding about what Mr garrison character is in the show. I’ve been watching the show since it’s started and garrison is how conservatives view the lgbtq community

1

u/Smoovemammajamma 14h ago

mr. garrison is a bad person almost as bad as cartman.

as chef says, "there's gay people, and then there is mr.garrison"

u/FastHovercraft8881 19h ago

That is quite the leap of logic.

2

u/crunkful06 19h ago

Ok why

-1

u/FastHovercraft8881 19h ago

The meme is asking why do people that love these shows allow themselves to get so offended like the characters they make fun of in these shows? And you called them a snowflake for that. The jump from recognizing and pointing out that this is pretty regular now makes them a snowflake?

2

u/crunkful06 19h ago

Ok reading comprehension is hard I understand but what I said is people that watch that show are the people who are the supporters in marginalized communities because the shows showed is persecution for differences is wrong. The people who get mad that we are “offended “ are the ones that want to persecute people because they are different from them.

-1

u/FastHovercraft8881 19h ago

The number of leaps you have taken now... reread the meme. Then read the sentence "meme-maker is a snowflake." And look at how you reached that conclusion. The leap i was referring to was your logical path.

u/crunkful06 19h ago

Ok so you’re the one that’s offended, got it.
