Idk, ask /misc/.
No, porn did
It was your shitty parents
When Southpark agrees with me no
When Southpark calls me out yes
Simple as
I’ve seen this narrative crop up over the past 5 years that South Park is this nihilistic brainwashing tool, when The Simpsons and Family Guy have always had higher ratings and always been a bigger influence on the public’s opinions on topics. Maybe all sitcoms are made to manipulate impressionable idiots and enforce a status quo for American society.
The Simpsons and Family Guy never were as preachy as South Park was
Family Guy definitely got pretty preachy post season 14 or so, main difference is South Park's "politics" are pretty schizophrenic whereas Seth McFarlane is just milquetoast American liberal
>season 14
More like season 7 (Not All Dogs Go to Heaven and 420 were infamous "preachy Brian" episodes)
>Simpsons and Family Guy have always had higher ratings and always been a bigger influence on the public’s opinions on topics
Topics such as what? Peter Griffin dumb lmao? Homer Simpson dumb lmao?
Arguably The Simpsons damaged the reputation of nuclear energy more than any other piece of popular media, especially in the eyes of viewers that were born after the Chernobyl disaster.
This.
So many of these American sitcoms have an anti-drug episode, an episode about teenage sex, an episode about lying about your grades.
In the Golden Girls era it was about anti-racism, and empathize with gays who are forced into the closet.
By late 90s stuff like Simpsons and That 70s show moved on to that you should be accepting of openly gay people.
There is a mini-doc about Schitt's Creek where the main actor cries and talks about all the emails he got about how their portrayal of gays finally made them accept their gay son and call him.
These sitcoms are powerfult stuff.
South Park took the last bit of edge off the Scientologists, it fully explained a lot of random shit that millennials might not have really known too much about.
Family Guy in the late 00s was WAY more nihilistic and had much further reach than South Park ever did
>The Simpsons
>nihilistic
Not permanently. Eventually people learn to think for themselves (or rather they become influenced by different pieces of media)
This is a take popularized by whinging gays who exclusively care about performative non-issues because South Park's bread and butter for the past 20+ years has been mercilessly dunking on whinging gays who exclusively care about performative non-issues
Is climate change a non issue?
Yes. C02 is plant food.
Too bad we're cutting all the plants down, huh.
Nah. I blame Howard Stern and Jerry Springer for ruining society. Also Dr Phil.
no, it didn't, and anyone who says it did is a salty boomer pissbaby
It ruined Xers, Millennials, and Zoomers in their own special ways.
Yes
Art is not really transformative, its reflective. South Park didn't turn anyone cynical, it attracted cynical people, they feel like it speaks to them like other shows don't
this
South Park genuinely has more heart to it than most modern pieces of media
It created a generation of annoying conservatives
go back to x
there were already going to be annoying conservatives. however, they became annoying centrists after watching this show.
>south park is the reason no one likes trannies
man that's crazy that south park has existed for nearly the entirety of western civilization
I don't give a crap about trannies, i just hate South Park libertarians
homosexual manchild
No
