skimmed a piece abt the "south park legacy," saw it contains the same bits all these cultural commentaries do: 1) "it's impossible to be neutral in 2020 due to all the evil" 2) (author grapples with having liked the show/still liking it) 3) "show was good but maybe time 2 go?"
these pieces appear by the dozens, usually about shows like "it's always sunny" and "south park." why write them at all? the quiet part that's being said loud here is "everyone is waiting until these shows are gone, even me, and I liked the show...well not really"
many authors of these pieces are threading various needles, including mandatory stuff (like the "trump bad man" material at the beginning of the "letter") while trying to hint that "no i really like this show" while signaling that "well the show is bad, actually." fascinating.
since i just do other stuff, i try to prioritize only writing things for money in which i know these gymnastics won't be needed. i ignore the rest of it. "let the dead bury the dead" is the spirit of the age, in more ways than one
i don't mind people getting paid for any work, or for doing the work, but this isn't the work i'll do. i'm not the mouth for these ears
it's interesting because a lot of people are threading these needles right now, professionally or socially or whatever, but most of them will end up gone baby gone after the string or perhaps even "a plank in reason" breaks. again, interesting. "a fit subject for study"
"Look- I'm not happy about it, but it's just the way things are now, folx."
I don’t write the news, kids, I just do the work of reporting it
Every South Park is responsible for racism thread is hilarious in its own extra stupid way.
Here for that work
If anything the show got worse when it became too scatological. That said, the creators were beaver than any of it's critics wringing their hands over some of the most admittedly deleterious jokes (they did get better on trans issues and climate change tho)
