South Park Creators backing off Trump.. "Satire has become reality"

Oh ya?
You sure about that?
Tell that to my Uncle. His son read this GAF thread and now he looks like this:
Totally radical
Apart from the fact I never had to do that because I never said it was the majority, you said I said that.
I guess add it to the pile of made up crap in this thread. No one has said a majority of gaffers or "all of GAF" is outraged at South Park. Just a disturbing number of people who keep repeating the same silly lies about the show and its creators because they're still upset by the PC Principal season.
The guys that received countless backlash and death threats for wanting to depict Muhammad and still wanted to go through the with it, scared of Trump? Nah.

You seem as agitated as he is. I'm annoyed by some of the posts ITT and spending more time than I should reading replies (as is philosophy and you). Don't see the point in unconvincingly acting like laid back cool guy when you're as committed and rechecking this thread as everyone else.
Difference is I'm laughing. I'm not acting..why would I need to? Who am I trying to impress? The outrage outrage gives me the giggles..why wouldn't I keep popping in? 😕
Yeah..that's what it is lol. You kids are adorable..

Seems you guys only see what you wanna see..shocking, really 😏
Rubin there has literally given a platform to the alt-right poster boy Milo Yiannopoulos, so you're going to have to try harder than that if you wanna any sort of meaningful point about the left.
You're coming across as trying too hard after all the initial anti-SP positions were squashed and going with this weird angle at that one poster (philosophy). I guess, keep at it? Whatever.
Agreed. My other point of reference is SNL where their debate opening skits were less outrageous than the IRL broadcasts. It's like a weird historical first with real life beating The Onion.
Jabroni marks don't know it's a work when they try to work a work, and end up working themselves into a shoot.
Marks.

I would argue there is nothing productive about the arguments that happen on GAF because nobody will change their mind or budge on anything.

Guy, whatever it is you think about me is all you. This "try hard" stuff is, again, just you. I'll agree tho, whatever..not sure why I ruffled your feathers. I'll try harder to do better, I guess..
You got me again, champ..😕
Eh, not necessarily true. Just hard to talk to anyone when they're solidly planted in their position. It can happen, it's just not easy..

it's going to be really hard to take a House of Cards Season 5 seriously now with a Trump's assention to power out of fuckery nullifies all the careful scheming that the Underwoods did
I think he just means that Rubin had Milo on his show. But lots of people have had Milo on their show I don't think it immediately invalidates everything they say before and after that event.
Yeah but it's not satire if it's actually happening, and considering recent events anything is on the table. That's the problem
Nailed it. This was a disappointing thing to see them say.
That is real classy. Being so reactionary and self-righteous is exactly what I'm talking about. Maybe don't barrel into a conversation with insults?
But you don't have any good reasons to be scared or angry at South Park who are already on the right side of social justice most of the time. It's the idea that sometimes you have to think about their messages or they don't jive 100% with your social philosophy 100% of the time that you need to cast them out as an enemy to the movement. When I said online radicalization I meant that the younger generations have grown up in echo chambers(yes, all sides do this), looking online for people who agree with their point of view from the start, so much so that they've been tainted with the idea of judging someone by their absolute philosophical purity or choosing to purge them outright from the conversation. You're obviously on the "good side" in the culture war, but your inability to see past any slight difference in opinion or representation is ultimately self-defeating. I'm guessing the idea is that anyone "moderate" or somewhere-in-the-middle is considered not worth your time because they're not on the same page as you, which means they aren't considered a part of your movement. What you need to understand is that most of those moderates agree with you on the basics, that love triumphs over hate and inclusion is superior to separation, so you are generally putting your energy into the wrong places when you start going off on people who were with you from the start.
Purity tests will be the death of liberal organization because in only accepting peers that think exactly like you, you put up insurmountable walls between allies. I bet you and I are the same in all the places that matter, but you will ignore it because I think just a bit differently.
It's the problem with allies arguing in this thread and it has been a huge problem in threads all over GAF, most noticeably cropping up in the last year or two.

Hey..I'll can take a little less crazy in my TV shows lol. Reality ain't treating folks I know too well. I could use the break..
In House of Cards, a President is forced to resign because foreign money is brought into his political campaign.
In reality, Donald Trump is a puppet of the Russian government.

Exactly this.
Because if you aint 100% against Trump and dont attack him any chance you get, you are pro Trump.
And this too. It's kind of ridiculous honestly.
People get outraged at nonsense opinions? Who would have thought? How damn clever! My god, you're the master troll of the master troll!
I think they're afraid of the president actually taking their jokes as inspiration.
Sounds like some people itt are getting triggered.

By people that clearly don't even watch the show, lmao.
They've gone further making fun of Trump then probably anyone else in the world, but somehow are still cowards...

You sure, tiger? 😏
Still don't get why you've removed yourself from the discussion at hand and have decided to do this weird "why u mad tho *laughing smiley*" angle. Yeah, some people are invested and annoyed by this topic and arguing their positions vehemently. And? Move on from it and contribute. You're the only one doing this and it's frankly a shit way of engaging with others.
See? Yeah, I'm triggered, he's triggered, you and Bronx-Man are triggered. You have basic skills of deduction. That's nice. Anything else you wanna add?

Only a coward wouldn't dedicate every second of every episode to bashing Trump's right? Now those folks at SNL poking fun at him for three minutes a week, they're true heroes.

Damn, you sure got me. I guess, in a sense, both sides are pretty alike. Not like any of this matters.

Dude..you really might just wanna put me on ignore. You seem real tense and I'd hate for you to have a bad day based on some person on the internet. You'd think I ate your cat for fuck sakes. Good grief lol..
Milo has been on Rubin's show several times, that's giving Milo a platform. Milo is a very directly and openly racist piece of trash, and anyone(like Rubin) that gives him a platform like this is helping spread his dangerous rhetoric. My point is, there are plenty of problems with the left, but linking to a guy that shills for Milo isn't doing your argument any favors.
For the record though, I would not call South Park "alt-right". I would say they cling to their "hey let's all be moderates" guns way too closely and the Man-Bear-Pig example I used earlier is why that philosophy isn't a good one to subscribe to.
Agreed on all points. Same stances, concerns, part of the same groups, slightly differenced nuance takes/approaches on a few issues? You're the fucking enemy.
I have never put anyone on ignore. I think you're being unnecessarily irritating in your un-participation/mocking tone. That's all. I'm not important to you, and you're not important to me. No one's day is being ruined. Cut it out with the hyperbole.
