Deranged South Park Fan
New member
I'll admit I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek given the whole issue surrounding Muhammad... but... still. I think there is an existing stereotype that South Park fans are desensitised oafs, but I am very upset to read people insulting and criticising it on message forums, as a 17-year-old girl with depression and AS -look up- who is obsessed with the show.
I feel a lot of pain when I read comments from people claiming it is offensive trash, immature simply because some young children find the swearing "cool" and have gained it that reputation and others stating that the show's writers are ignorant and unintelligent. This upsets me because I literally dedicate my life to the show and feel extreme emotional attachment to it; I also feels it reflects badly on me because I pride myself in being reasonably mature and intelligent (if socially stunted) so I tend to take it very to heart. Last night I was awake at 5 o'clock crying over some of the comments on my iPhone internet from people calling it vile and stupid.
Maybe I am phrasing the question wrongly, but SP truly is my life. I spend some of August writing a religious doctrine professing my love for it, but eventually gave up after realising no one would take me seriously.
I just feel that if Muslims and the like have a right to get upset about South Park treating them with flippancy, shouldn't I have a right to feel equally upset about people treating SP the same way, given how much I value it? Or is it a one-sided street and irrelevant because my genuine devotion to SP is comparatively rare and hasn't gained any official recognition?
*critisise - sorry.
Lilly Porter, I think you either didn't read my question or completely evaded it.
Thank you for your logic Janaka but I'm not sure you are correct. The muslims who issues death threats to the South Park creators were not fearing bodily harm. But then, they were convicted, not the SP creators.
That is all kind of beside the point though, and my question title was tongue-in-cheek. The rest was not. I do not actually intent to kill or sue anyone; I am a passive person. I was more talking about my rights from a social perspective.
AS = Asperger's Syndrome.
And in real life I have no real friends and to be honest would sooner be dead if there was a painless way to successfully bring it about. It may be a TV show to you but it's not to me. Not sure what deity you believe it, if any, but to me religion is just fabrication with no real bearing. I can only empathise with religious folks on the basis they may have similar feelings as I do about SP, so for that reason I respect them. I don't actually intend to kill anyone as I have clarified.
And I've seen enough NHS therapists in my life to know it is all just ineffective crap coming from textbooks.
And it isn't just the forums, it's in real life too. My family, most of who I avoid. Inescapable.
