I think South Park contributed a lot to spreading and normalizing casual antisemitism. After that it was 4chan that served to help distill and repropagate it "ironically" until the repetition set in and it became a genuine reflex for them, and that general sphere has formed the vanguard of online reaction for a long time.
4chan should have been shut down and the fact it continues to not be shut down despite mass shootings and fascist growth being completely attributable to it says a lot.
More effort goes into stopping piracy sites than stopping fascism and mass murder.
Absolutely true, in the social circles of my younger siblings who were in high school at the peak of South Park, "jewish" became an insult. 90+% of the people using it wouldn't believe it was antisemitic to do so.
