South Park actually is right-wing garbage.

"Barely touching" Obama, who was a competent President is the same as "doing nothing with Bush" and announcing a hands off policy for Trump now that he's President.

If by "polluted" you mean "racists, homophobes and misogynists are on reddit and not always, everywhere moderated out of existence," then yes. But that's true of the internet as a whole, which reddit is a microcosm of. There are subreddits where any kind of departure from liberal orthodoxy gets your comment deleted…

The South Park mentality is like that moment from the Simpsons when Principal Skinner stops and questions "Am I so out of touch? No, it's the children that are wrong." All you need is the utter conviction that you're right and everyone else is a dumbass and the only reason you or something exactly like you isn't in…

Reddit is left-leaning (seriously, check out /r/politics, the default political sub-reddit) and virtually universally anti-doxxing. 4Chan seems to be more of a hub for the alt-right, though I never go there so I couldn't say for sure. Breitbart and Infowars are completely different. They're much closer to…

Honestly I think the Starship Troopers thing was because the satire was too close to the worldview of a lot of Americans. I remember growing up (this would be the 1980s) hearing people opine that maybe Heinlein was right, and voting rights should be predicated on military or other meritorious service, rather than…

Libertarians on climate change: it's either not real or it's inevitable or it's not worth doing anything about because if it were real, preventable and worth doing something about then it would require government to step in and regulate an enormous amount of economic behavior, which is completely incompatible with our…

No, it's like blaming heavy metal music for people thinking that wearing all black clothing with silver chains/studs, designing logos with fonts so stylized they're unreadable, binge drinking and going days at a time without showering is a cool way to live. I doubt that's the intended message of many metal bands, but…

The alt-right is a by-product of "both sides are equally bad." Those things are not contradictory. You go "alt right" because the "normie right" is just as bad as liberalism.

No, South Park is actually just intellectually lazy and dumb. The philosophy of South Park is basically "Hey, we're a couple of rich white guys from Colorado, and we're pretty comfortable. Everyone who is worked up about stuff is probably just a dipshit. That goes for holy rollers upset about abortion and the lack…

Fair point. No way that could happen twice to the same dumbass, right Beric Dondarion?

I said this already, but shouldn't the outcome here be that Jon Snow gets dead? Ned Stark: refused to play the game by any terms other than conventional honor, got killed. Rob Stark: followed his heart, got killed. Jon Snow: does what he thinks is right, ???.

So the lesson of Game of Thrones is that acting like you're in a fairy tale gets you killed two times out of three, but the third time you get to be King in the Norf and it all works out like gangbusters to ignore the game of thrones and instead do whatever you think is right or feels just in the moment?

A predatory lech who is at least kind of liege lord of the best trained, best equipped fighting force left in Westeros (the knights of the vale). Didn't this show used to at least pretend to care about stuff like that?

Spilt milk. Littlefinger was restoring a Stark to Winterfell. Think about Sansa's other realistic options in that world. If she's retaken by anyone south of the Neck, Cersei tortures her to death. If she doesn't remarry, she's a pauper waiting to be kidnapped to be sold to Cersei to be tortured to death.

Why is it not credible? Littlefinger has been in King's Landing for most of the last thirty years and in the Vale for the last year or two. Why would he know anything about the bastard son of one of a second-rate lord in the most remote, most rural region of the Seven Kingdoms? Also, even though Ramsay's utter…

It's like when Ser Budget slew Summer in the Three Eyed Raven's cave. Stupid.

Doesn't B pretty much wipe out C? He didn't realize the Boltons were idiot monsters. I mean, from a medieval/feudal point of view, matching Sansa with the heir to the new Lord Paramount of the North is a pretty solid move.

Jon would never use her as an assassin. Sansa though, I could see that.

Eh, I guess? Castle Black isn't that much father than Winterfell. I guess point taken that there would have been "no place for a woman at the Wall," but I don't really think Arya's in deep need of a home at this point. She's literally turning her back on her primary goal since Season 1: killing Cersei. I guess Ed…
