  • Very insightful perspective. Personally, I think another possible explanation for why Disney and all these other companies are pandering to so many minority groups is mainly because that’s where the money is. Yes, a lot of executives at Disney in particular may feel bad because of the companies bigoted past, but I don’t think they’d be pushing it quite so hard if that was the only reason. Especially since 2020, social progressivism has become really popular in pop culture, so there’s a big market incentive to peddle diversity and inclusion so much.

    That’s not to say that diversity and inclusion are bad things. Of course it’s an amazing thing that we can have actors and characters with diverse backgrounds and whatnot. But I think people are starting to catch on that the “Panderverse” is, well, just that. Pandering in an inauthentic and potentially ill-intentioned manner.




  • I don’t know if I truly hate any of the characters, but here are my least favorite ones (in no particular order):

    1. Miss Crabtree: I just feel like she doesn’t offer much apart from the placeholder character who drove the school bus early on in the show, and most of the time when she spoke, it was just annoying screaming. Wasn’t too sad to see her go in season 8.

    2. Towelie: Apparently a lot of people really like Towelie and I just don’t understand why. He’s not funny at all in my opinion, all he does is smoke weed and tell people to always “bring a towel” That’s literally it. I get no enjoyment out of him and I don’t get why he’s a fan favorite.

    3. Mr. And Mrs. Stotch: I know I said I don’t really hate any of the characters, but I might have to make an exception here. Honestly, the whole running joke of Butters getting bullied in general got old for me after a certain period of time, and sometimes was downright unpleasant to watch, especially at the hands of his stupidly evil parents. Plus, abusive parent characters are going to easy to hate no matter what.
