PC Bros can try, but nothing has stopped South Park from thriving as the last member of the '90s shock TV era.
After almost two decades of defying common decency, South Park finally succumbed to the powers of the politically correct when the social justice warriors invaded everyone’s favorite quiet, little redneck mountain town. The fight against the PC forces was a good one – some would even call it noble – but now it is over. Well… in the show’s plot, at least.
By the end of South Park’s 19th season, the forces of political correctness had inserted their will into the town like never before. Whereas once political correctness was seemingly the town’s public enemy No. 1 – except for mechanized Barbra Streisand, of course – a new PC authority is running the school and leaving fans to wonder just what will happen next.
As for South Park the show, it’s just as politically incorrect as ever before. South Park’s most recent storyline may have involved a season-long arc that examined the role of PC in our modern society, but this foray involved the same offensive occurrences that made creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker recognizable worldwide as the undisputed masters of raunchy cartoon comedy.
Then again, what would you expect from the last surviving member of the shock era of television?
