Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials?

Punching everyone equally gives the appearance that everyone deserves to be punched. Just another form of “both sides” bullshit.

Folks are rightfully calling out the anti trans stuff and anti gay stuff, and the climate change stuff. But one that really sticks with me the most is when they punched down on alcoholics.

Basically they implied alcoholics should be able to enjoy a tiny bit of alcohol here or there, and called out alcoholics who completely abstain as being undiciplined losers.

As someone with outrageous amounts of alcoholism on both sides of my family, it doesn’t sit well with me at all.

Plus, Matt and Trey are Republicans, so fuck them.

The scene in which Randy gets arrested for drunk driving is based on a near identical experience that Parker had with his father when he was nine years-old.

From Wikipedia, so it seems like he’s had some personal experience as well.

Also I don’t think they are republican or democrat

    Pretty sure if it was the opposite, and they declared themselves liberals to a room full of uncomfortable right wing elites, we wouldn’t be ignoring their history or rejecting that label.
