Disclaimer: I didn't pay for Paramount + to watch this special. I watched it on a website. Just wanted to clarify that I didnt give another shitty streaming service my money lol
I thought it was okay, but I knew they were gonna pull the "muh both sides" shit. The sub plot with randy was kinda funny too. Still isnt as funny as older south park though, and a user said here in another thread that South Park isnt as anti establishment and contrarian as it used to be, and he's right. South Park has so much stuff to make fun of in this clown world, but I feel like they are holding back a bit. Is it just me?
Everything they made fun of is about 3 years at minimum too late to be considered even slightly edgy, topical, or barely relevant.
The fact that they are doing so now, when the pendulum has swung slightly out of favor of the things they are mocking, makes it even worse than if they had said nothing at all. Because now they are openly showing themselves to be cowardly and trendchasers, instead of just out of touch and uncaring.
Its entirely designed to make you think they are still neutralish making fun of everyone like they used to, which will almost certainly work on normies who were starting to notice too hard. And its outright pathetic to see.
Given the reaction of the grift-o-sphere on Youtube, you'd think they had hit a home run. They were even praising the episode before it was even released.
Well… the grift-o-sphere is people who will continue to consooom as long as it’s at least ok done propaganda or for their audience… for those whose paycheck is reliant on a thing, don’t expect them to go Blackpill out there…
The Grift Creators are stuck in permanent "Notice me daddysenpai" mode and always have been. So literally any recognition from the industry they can get, even this tiny crumb, is treated like their entire life is being immortalized as correct.
Its always been an issue. Its why KIA1, despite claiming "no leaders," would prop up literally any named person who'd agree with them into the stratosphere. Its how such a group treats Ethan Ralph, Milo, and Tranny Narwhal all as its personal ecelebs.
Exactly what I was thinking. I haven’t seen the full episode yet but mocking the diversity obsession would’ve been much more effect a few years ago
