Would you say the dark knight is irredeemable as a movie because of what it did to incels trying to be joker?
Haven’t seen it. But in general, I don’t think as a creator you can ethically dismiss the social impact of your work. Especially if you could have foreseen it or have kept doing it for a long time after the impact had started to manifest.
And South Park is definitely in the latter category.
So any medium that portrays something controversial shouldn't, because media illiterate idiots will take it at face value. Gotcha.
That’s not what I wrote. Like, not even a bit.
Oh my God the media illiteracy is coming from inside the thread.
Exactly.
