For me, it’s Tehnoobshow, the guy who made Runescape machinima videos.
south park and marvel movies
they did an episode like, 5ish years ago where manbearpig was real and they were like “sorry, we were wrong, lol”. it was okay.
Especially once South Park started to lean heavily into social commentary. It doesn’t help that a lot of dumbasses shaped a significant part of their world views based on it.
I don’t think it made anyone a reactionary, but it definitely did shape how reactionaries turned out.
