(I liked the new episode, this is not necessarily something negative)
It seems to me, especially lately that the really really try to represent every side of a conversation, by giving every kind of viewer something they can agree with. Like to me it seems that in older episodes, they sometimes just obliterated one side and sometimes were just just offensive for the sake of it and in the later seasons they present more nuanced views.
Totally. Though it’s an uncomfortable truth to some fans, I’ve come to peace with it.
They never added a Cartman speech where we learn how people who criticize reality tv are partially to blame for reality tv being lazy uncreative pandering, they just shot the Whale Wars guy in the mouth with a harpoon and called it a day.
