I'm going to get on this season at some point in the next three months. I've always been a big fan of South Park.
And yes, I know there's a lot of negativity around the show... but that's not necessarily a case of the show being worse so much as the tendency of internet fandoms to inevitably drift toward ultra-active attention-seekers... almost always manifesting in either perversity (like absurdist sexual fanfics) or cheap negative reactions... usually in the form of "dis sux now!" or reposting (for the 100,000 time as though it's an original thought) some sanctimonious opinion that often involves something like "I'm a former true fan!" or some kind of offense that they've made that differs from earlier iterations. In South Park's case, it's often the "Why are they only picking on my culture now?" - it seems that they're taking stuff personally and only paying attention to that... because South Park still makes fun of a ton of things.
When a show/game is hot, it will also have to deal with the crusaders who review bomb because it gives their lives some kind of purpose... and I think South Park somehow still attracts those kind of responses as well, even if not to the level of major game releases. IMO, this "1 or 2 stars to every episode!" review bomb crusade is more a reflection of the relevancy of South Park rather than its irrelevancy or any kind of negative quality. There are those who feel it's important enough to do that.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
