As much as I love their direction, i still have trouble taking their commentary seriously because they played a part in creating the gen X/Millenial bump of wierd conservatives who think they're smarter than everybody because they're "independent" conservatives.
Like their central ethos was "caring about people is for losers".
The anti-climate change, pro-Walmart, pro-Starbucks whatever-era was annoying as fuck. Like you said, it's not directly South Park but their annoying fans taking their shit too seriously.
Internet threads talking about climate change had some "man bear big" bullshit going around.
The thing is that I watched South Park during that time too and I loved a lot of the episodes. I just didn't take their commentary too seriously. I'm just like, "well they're obviously wrong". I was a Richard Dawkins fan and had no problem with them skewering him at the time either.
They were ripping on all of those things. Man Bear Pig wasn't climate-change denial it was commentary on climate change denial.
Can't blame south park for conservatives not getting shit. That's their thing.
I meant that the fans were annoying as fuck. I think my post was to highlight that I enjoyed the episodes but hated the fans that came out of it.
Trey and Matt aren't like climate scientists or whatever, they're comedy writers with a political edge. Even if they're blatantly wrong with their commentary I don't really blame them. It's that we take them too seriously.
Fair. I don't interact with the people you do. But what you saying does explain why SP felt it necessary to spell it out in season 22. I'm guessing the guy in this scene is a parody of the folks you're talking about.
I always saw manbearpig as a scathing criticism of how everyone ignored Al Gore because the effects of climate change weren't visibly in front of us.
