I've never watched that show, and probably never will just because everyone on 
is always like 
LE SUNNY IN PHILADELPHIA? EPIC WIN, LET'S POST OUR FAVORITE QUOTES! 
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
There is a tendancy amongst a surprisingly high amount of people to read "protagonist" as "good guy who should be emulated". IASIP is a good and largely well written show (although it doesn't pretend to be anything its not) BUT, since the main characters are shitty, shallow, selfish people who don't repent or improve, le epic redditor edgelords can just have a laugh and feel vindicated. We're meant to be laughing at the gang and sympathising with the bemused and disgusted people around them, whereas i think some people manage to miss the point completely, relating to the gang, and so instead end up viewing it as something like fucking south park.
iirc, the creators are not much fond of most of their fanbase.
Matt Stone and Trey Parker are rich white aging libertarian chuds, but even they apparently didn't originally intend Cartman to be some sort of role model or personality template for their fans, but here we are.
This whole phenomenon has really been killing shows over the last decade. Even the big bang theory was passable before they turned the protagonists into good guys the audience is supposed to empathise with.
Contemporary writers should (but probably won't, or at least won't care either way because they get paid) realize that if they give a character cool quotable lines, lots of screen time, and present them with agency in the story, that they're going to have consumers quoting them, admiring them, and in many cases even imitating them no matter the writer's supposed intentions.
