MODERATORS
This isn’t even necessary when the right-wing already has a popular show with South Park.
But the show itself again shows why Daily Wire and those associated with it are losing steam. Sure they think it’s cool when they go after queer people and leftists, but then they mock people with peanut allergies and call video games Satanic wastes of time. Suddenly these guys aren’t so cool anymore.
That’s why I think the right-wing faces of this decade will be younger and less openly religious. Jackson Hinkle is already gaining popularity in the global south for being anti-imperialist and anti-woke. Streamers like Asmongold and the streamers on Kick are also gaining attention.
It’s quite the downgrade from someone like William F Buckley, but this is the same right-song that rallied behind Andrew Tate lol all they have are performative “triggered” clowns.
Are you serious?
South Park's ideological bent is more or less "Caring about things is stupid, you are stupid for having opinions" which is just support for the status quo.
Mostly yes, but it's not consistently scratching the "we're in a culture war all the time" itch that conservatives really want. Online conservatives will sometimes happily claim an episode or two for their side, but on the whole it's not what they like (and the ones with long enough memories will remember how they DESPISED it in the 90s/2000s)
Sure, but all that shit the chuds want to like, like Lady Ballers or this Twitter Norm show, it's basically devoid of value and only gets watched out of spite. They want legitimacy and cultural impact but chud media simply doesn't have the ability to do that because it rejects having any humanity. It's media made out of spite, they'll pump the numbers to make it look like a win, spitefully, and it'll go into the memory hole a month later having done nothing. South Park, while being crass and artless is at the very least enduring, and it believes everything they do too.
Yes, at least for the younger ones these people keep trying to get ahold of. Younger chuds love South Park and reference it all the time to the point that anything they see of leftists being “insane” is met with “we live in a South Park episode.”
