I also kind of always think of South Park as being initially targeted at malignantly-disillusioned GenXers, considering it was an R-rated cartoon that premiered in 1995, when most millennials still hadn’t learned basic literacy.

Depends if you consider someone like me to be a GenXer or a Millenial. SP started when I was in High School. It was a huge cultural influence on my generation

Early internet discourse (bbs, list serves, etc) were influenced by academia and a reaction to 1980s and 1990s censorship and religious moral panic. The anonymity baked in from the start def comes from a place of wanting to let people be weird without being assured it would follow them back to real life. It came from a naive hope that freedom of expression was a self-policing ultimate good. At the time it was a left wing cornerstone.
Modern internet platforms are pretty much a straight line from there, with little deviation. The evils that have arisen are largely borne of scale and a reality catching up with free speech idealists.

there is a guy in the bathroom really grunting one out and i want to be like "pööp gently, bröther" but that's not necessarily the kind of advice asked for in the workplace
"equal opportunity offender" is like saying "I am not racist, I hate all people equally."
It is never actually true.
It's true. This is a show that covered the Pope in menstrual blood, portrayed the distant future as a warlike dystopia after scientists took power, and brutally slaughtered a hundred cows to protect Impossible burgers. There are no social groups left untouched.

The National Crime Agency has publicly distanced itself from a poster urging parents to call police if their child has installed Kali Linux, Tor or – brace yourself – Discord.
Issued by West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit (WMROCU) via local area councils, the poster in question lists a slack handful of common infosec tools – as well as some that clearly have nothing to do with computer security.
Should your child install Kali Linux, virtual machines (the image on the poster looks like Virtualbox) or internet privacy tool Tor, West Midlands Police wants to know immediately. And if – heaven forfend – junior installs Metasploit, free VoIP service for gamers Discord or WiFi Pineapple, you might as well report straight to your nearest prison and abandon your tainted offspring forever.

Reddit and Twitter are places I don’t think this is true of (definitely the free speech idealism, but not the straight line) and are probably the two largest platforms for discourse
Both would espouse some libertarian nonsense but twitter in particular is very much down with the social order because it makes them a lot of money

I'd argue the situation we're in now is not "scale" and "reality" but rather "business" and "profit motive" grabbing onto the internet. The problem is not that people have free speech, the problem is that their speech is amplified in proportion to its drama and engagement, that the focuses of our attention are being manipulated by astroturfing and reinforcing feedback loops. We aren't just seeing the naked follies of human psychology, we are seeing them exploited ruthlessly for gain.
today i've been thinking about how really have i done anything really good or right in the last i dunno 14 years
also gents, i may need to bail on a spa day, this is virus-y, maybe flu-y, but we'll see
i dont know that subjecting myself to hot rooms and stuff, and other people to this virus is wise
i told my friend i'd go out with him tonight for valentines day because he has had a tough time post breakup from relationship (which was also not good for him) - there's been a lot of him saying LOVE IS A LIE and being dramatic
but i think i must also bail from this

FF7 remake is like my top priority for PAX East which means I will never see it, and it will only serve to reinforce the lesson that I should abandon my dreams for the inability to reach them only causes pain

Depends if you consider someone like me to be a GenXer or a Millenial. SP started when I was in High School. It was a huge cultural influence on my generation
You’re on the cusp, so you have to fill out the questionnaire:
- Depeche Mode or Vampire Weekend?
- He-Man or Darkwing Duck?
- Cheers or Frasier?
- Surge or Mountain Dew Code Red?
- Ewoks or Ninja Turtles?

What if you just hate most people because they make your life a fucking nightmare by being inconsiderate, lazy, and airheaded?
but kids like it because they said all the potty words

i called the police and told them you use discord
because i care
I mean you're not wrong, that poster from the previous page shows they know nothing about anything related to computers.
Talk to me when you feel old enough to get a side gig, kid
