   South Park's Matt Stone and Trey Parker are storytelling geniuses! I highlight their remarkably simple but effective "but/therefore rule" in every science communication lecture I give.

     @skyfaller @luckytran They're absolute douches who bear a lot of the responsibility for the very existence of the "alt reich", "anti-wokeness", etc. We should be happy they're infighting with dear leader's faction and enjoying the popcorn, but not promoting them.

     @luckytran But South Park has a long history of transphobia, therefore we should be careful about promoting their work.

     @skyfaller @luckytran There's a straight line from the drivel that passed as "comedy" in the late 1990s to the "nazis running amok" problem we now have.
