Somehow this just gives me a warm feeling inside. South Park was a big part of high school for me, I was like the last of my friends to see what it was, (because I was basically Kenny, too poor to get cable) but it shaped our outlook on life much like the Simpsons before it. I did kind of fall out of interest with the show, and when Gamergate kicked off I didn't know who was on my side or who would turn against me.
Now that South Park has come back to give me this strong pat on the shoulder I feel hopeful again. An old friend who saw it all the same way you did and came back to remind you that you're not alone, and have more of a power to speak up than you thought.
