    "MANBEARPIG" very seriously nudged an already apathetic generation into memeing their way out of even considering the consequences of carbon pollution and climate change.

      Even though South Park eventually went back and confirmed that they were wrong, it's agonizing to know the damage has already been done. Plus, I'm pretty sure that sooner or later, these insects will go from "it's not happening" to "I choose treats over my health and your health".

        That "still as a joke, unless" apology episode was so ineffective that I still heard "manbearpig" memes about climate change as recently as this year.

      Guess the International Community was always doomed if it took an edgy cartoon from the 90's to sway their opinion on climate change that easily

        I don't want to go into that again, but I did say "nudged." No one is immune to propaganda and propaganda can affect people without it being 100% consistent and reliable mind control.
