I can't say much about tumblr as I don't really follow new folks anymore and with SP I keep myself close to the K2 side of the fandom. But the twitter side often tries to generate wank, mostly using this excuse to start pouting nonsense. I sometimes get the feeling they are only in for the fics and art and forget about the source material thinking this is all something like Steven Universe or My little Pony. While, for example in my country the episodes air around midnight, 1am for a reason.

There is so many "problematic" shit in the show AND in the games you have to wear a blindfold to miss all of that and shriek at other fans for shipping characters. Like mothers who preach about the innocence of children and how video games ruin them but go and buy GTA for their kid because it has cars on the cover.


If the fandom portrayed adults taking advantage of the characters, then yes, THAT would be problematic. But that is something neither the show nor the fancreators support.

(And have they seen some of the creek art you can collect in the game?!)

Right? Hell, part of what drew me into the South Park fandom was seeking refuge. Shit, I don't even write smut all that much, but I still can't take all the purity nonsense in popular anime fandoms and a lot of other cartoon fandoms anymore. i.e. I couldn't NOPE harder at the Voltron fandom if I tried right now. All the fucking "discourse" over "problematic" material is enough to make me want to bash my head in with a brick anymore. Like, maybe SP fandom had (has?) its ship wank and issues, but it totally pales in comparison to what I'm used to, and thank fuck for that.

Of course, to be fair, I'm never really on Twitter, so I haven't seen what happens there. The last time I went on Twitter was to catch the live tweets for the episode Put it Down.

I agree. Shit, man. Trey and Matt treat actual pedophiles brutally in their work. That fucking Jared boss fight in TFBW. I was dyin' over all the shade cast there. XD So I think if they had a problem with shippers we would know, lol.

(Right? How about some of that dialog? "You really pounded that guy, Tweek!")

Yes. The South Park fandom is a heaven on earth compared to my previous ones. Even the old ones were infected with witch hunting extremists after a while, who jumped at anyone's throat who coloured a character's skin half shade brighter. I TRIED to get into Voltron, but then the "Dirty Laundry Discourse" happened and they started that shipwar and decided to nope out of that place.

Twitter is a funny place because the content that gets to you depends on the type of people you follow. I happen to have lot of mutuals who have some really twisted views on how fantasy and reality corresponds. Like, personaly, I think it all depends on the person. When we really think about it, it's like a reverse "Videogames are the source of violence". (Might be reaching there, but when I think about it the two discourses are really similar.)
