I know I'm like 30 years too late to this conversation, but the pervasiveness of irony-drenched media, of "look how silly this thing is for believing in something, aren't I superior for seeing through this sham" is so uninteresting and cowardly and exhausting.
I have actively stopped listening to at least two podcasts because of this very thing.
I'm not immune to this either, by sheer exposure to it. I grew up in the late 90s/early 2000s and exist currently (as far as I know). It's everywhere. But it's something I make conscious efforts to discard from myself. It's poisonous.
...this isn't about South Park, btw lol. Totally unrelated that that is all over the timeline.
