dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

This isn’t even necessary when the right-wing already has a popular show with South Park.

Are you serious?

South Park's ideological bent is more or less "Caring about things is stupid, you are stupid for having opinions" which is just support for the status quo.

Mostly yes, but it's not consistently scratching the "we're in a culture war all the time" itch that conservatives really want. Online conservatives will sometimes happily claim an episode or two for their side, but on the whole it's not what they like (and the ones with long enough memories will remember how they DESPISED it in the 90s/2000s)

Sure, but all that shit the chuds want to like, like Lady Ballers or this Twitter Norm show, it's basically devoid of value and only gets watched out of spite. They want legitimacy and cultural impact but chud media simply doesn't have the ability to do that because it rejects having any humanity. It's media made out of spite, they'll pump the numbers to make it look like a win, spitefully, and it'll go into the memory hole a month later having done nothing. South Park, while being crass and artless is at the very least enduring, and it believes everything they do too.

Yes, at least for the younger ones these people keep trying to get ahold of. Younger chuds love South Park and reference it all the time to the point that anything they see of leftists being “insane” is met with “we live in a South Park episode.”
