      This is called a hypothesis. The next step is to carefully test it. We showed that in grievance studies, propositions like this can just be concluded. As this is also grievance studies, there will be no test because it would normalize racism if it doesn't confirm the hypothesis.https://twitter.com/DiscordianKitty/status/1056443691043299329 …

      Characters like Cartman and Michael Scott did a lot to normalise bigotry. Yes, they were portrayed as in the wrong, but also portrayed as likable, funny, and harmless. They taught a generation to see racism, antisemitism and misogyny as harmless personality quirks.

      I predict: the more South Park people watch, the less they're prone to un-self-reflective bigotry. Come @ me.

          This is probalby generalizable to comedy and satire in general. Irony and satire are corrosive of dogmatic belief systems.

          Self-deprecating humour is a direct defence against offended sensibilities. If you can laugh at anything, nothing can touch you, creating a buffer against having your emotions stirred up so that you are able to continue thinking rationally.

          Fucking no one sees Cartman as harmless. There's an episode where kills some kids parents and feeds them to him in a chilli to get back at him. Everyone recognises him as a psychopath.

          But, perhaps more self-reflective and intentional bigotry! That'd be a good thing if people were more honest about their deeply held beliefs.

          Are they trying to say cartman created his own stereotype? What? He didn't create people like that he represents how shitty they are.
