I do really appreciate that The Gang’s misbehavior always ends up screwing them over. That’s a big difference compared to South Park.
This is exactly why I had to stop watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s brilliantly written satire most of the time, but I know people are getting the wrong ideas from it and laughing at truly despicable behavior that they’re going to emulate first for ironic humor, then eventually just because it’s hedonistically rewarding.

That’s a very fair point. But even that level of “nuance” I think can be lost on an audience of many millions in a generation where a large proportion of kids make it to college without ever having read an entire adult-level book cover to cover.

Personally I’m not going to stop watching something just because other people are too dumb to not emulate the goblins in it
