I am a 14 year old new fan of south park. My mom was never happy about me watching it and would roll her eyes but didnt ban it or anything until i showed her the hell on earth 2006 episode. What do you think she banned it for? The scene where Jeffrey Dahhmer fucked someone guys intenstines which lasted for like 5 seconds. LIKE i understand being disgusted by it but ban me from watching it entirely? I dont get it. Like she listened to me watch it for AGES. Like there are things that would probably make her ban it from me like the Mr Garrison writing his romance novel. So yeah, i love and everything but she can be pretty ridiculous sometimes.
Dude my parents made no fucking sense. I was born in 1983. I grew up watching the Friday the 13th movies, Nightmare on Elm Street, every Stephen King movie, Amytiville Horror movies, Poltergeist, etc.
But I couldn’t watch the Simpsons or anything Michael Jackson related. Parents thought Bart Simpson was a bad influence. With Michael Jackson, he grabbed himself in music videos and a concert video that was on VHS.
As I got older, it didn’t matter anymore. By 1995-96, I was able to watch the Simpsons, and by 1997, I was able to watch the premiere of South Park and parents never cared.
And my parents are cool as shit. They were always pretty laid back with a lot of things. I’ve made jokes to them about it over the years and they’re like ‘yeah, we were pretty dumb for doing that’
