Trey Parker and Matt Stone are probably two of the most courageous and talented satirist the world truly needs right now.
Props to them for being one of the only people who views Woke as something else other than just the cringe way of saying “Political Correctness”
Truly admirable and sagacious comedy CHADS!!!
They actually earned their money though.
It’s different, when they are fighting for the common good no less. And they’ve been doing so for the most part since after the 00s at least when they still kind of didn’t get how it was going to play out.
If I had to criticize them, it would be they took some wrong takes, but who hasn’t? They did in good faith as I can see.
I thought we had a general consensus that it’s impossible to “earn” a billion dollars.

I think this is exactly it, but I feel a moral obligation tugging

I mean, they created a wildly popular show that’s been around over 20 years. I can’t think of anything they’ve done otherwise. I’m sure it’s possible to earn a billion dollars, but highly unlikely. If anything, they’re the exception to the rule, I’d say.
Aside from South Park (which includes tons of merchandise, several games, and a movie) they did do a few movies (low forgettable Orgasmo, and cult classics BASEketball and Team America: World Police) and a WILDLY successful Broadway musical The Book of Mormon which won 9 Tony Awards.
The bulk of those earnings like came from South Park in some form or fashion
I’ve always felt like artists could be the one exception to “there should be no billionaires”.
If you make tremendous wealth from many many many small payments for your art from many many people… that is not exploitation, that is success in its purest form.
