Member berries are a device being used by the creators to show us that most people wish to go back to a time where things were easy—yet the problems society is facing are still the same. They're being used to draw a parallel between Trump/Garrison supporters, and everyone else on their high horse.

I just wanted to note two things for this episode.

Completely valid beliefs founded on real stats, nothing to be angry about on my part :)

Hey, no problems over here.

While I think the way we're dealing with sexual exploration/lifestyles/etc on campus is not perfect, it is needed in order to protect victims of sexual assault and abuse. Doing something is better than nothing.
