Lil Gideon was a thinly veiled stereotype of Rush Limbaugh.
The two main cops were gay.
In general the 'villains' were always some form of Americana, white men or rich people.
In that sense, though, it was about as 'woke' as the Simpsons before 2020 when they were forced to go 'woke'.
I was thinking with Hank Azaria and the rest of the cast saying that they wouldn't do voices of people that weren't THEIR race - ergo - no more Apu stories.
Little things. Mabel constantly getting things her way no matter how much of a brat she is while Dipper can't get away with nothin', the gay cops. Things like that.
It's more good than bad, but you can definitely tell it was made when the culture war was starting to ramp up.
What did it push?
