also, this idea of “punching down” is a bit of nonsense. it doesn’t mean that much. I think in the reviewer’s context of this article it’s again trying to define what is proper communication. everyone is EXHAUSTED from the constant woke censorship that is now coming from the far left “progressives” - it’s one of the…

wow what a PC reviewer. C’mon...it was an awesome episode that was right on the nose of current issues. Southpark is one of the few truly funny shows that can skewer and satire on current issues.

If she’s going to get worked up about Parker and Stone mocking anyone who isn’t cis white male then she should really hand the reviewing duties off to someone else, since this is exactly what they’ve done from the very beginning.

You pretty much nailed it. Wish I could give you more stars. The author was too caught up in their own beliefs to actually see the narrative the episode was telling. The trans issue and the PC babies thing is actually more of the subplot of the episode. The real driving narrative was the Cartman story line and the…

Let’s be honest — even if the entire world did agree to and follow the Paris Climate accord, it was still little better than a bandaid on a severed limb. Nobody wanted to take the kind of drastic actions necessary to reverse course because it was too expensive, it was too negative to vested interests, it required…

No this is NOT “gender bias” - start using LOGIC and CRITICAL THINKING instead of repeating talking points. Medical ads are one thing and sex toy ads are another. Just stop repeating gender bias talking points always...and maybe write some quality content.

There are things to discuss in here. The way he handles them, however, is so fundamentally offensive that few people who don’t already agree with his perspective would give him the time of day. Tone matters.

There are very few “flaws in logic” pointed out and far more “OMG so sexist tech bro” etc.

In tech, 80% male means you are hiring a far higher percentage of female applicants than male applicants.

Got to love how nearly every comment here affirms what the memo author said would happen. Moral reactions are emotional reactions and are not based on actual facts. The guy is trying to have a rational conversation. Disagreement is expect and is no doubt the desired outcome. Declaring him a racist and/or sexist ends…

We looked up 7,243 professors and found 3,623 to be registered Democratic and 314 Republican, for an overall D:R ratio of 11.5:1.

Nope. Didnt complain about anyone. Please read the comment. All I said that he had a good point that people don’t allow discussion anymore that they disagree with. Are you trying to disagree with that? That’s fine. You don’t have to agree with it. But your entire comments pretty much back up what I said. There was…

The fact that many here disagree with that utterly logical and soundly reasoned essay makes me realize that we have probably lost a generation to terminal politically correct groupthink .

The fact that you think anything I said is an attack is exactly the problem. You wrote that whole comment and I don’t even know if you meant to reply to me at this point.

Welp, this is gonna be a fun commment’s section.

Summarily dismissing the screed as being “anti-diversity” is exactly the problem it was outlining. Ms. Conger, it’s difficult to have discussions with people that prefer to affix labels out of some misguided sense of moral superiority. Listening to other perspectives, whether you agree with them or not, is just part…
