normalfags
This recent south park shit has really got me thinking about how normalfags operate in day to day life? Its actually pathetically sad that normalfags still watch this shit. South park hasn't been entertaining for more than a decade at this point and yet its still being made and normalfags watch it. Why? Why do they still watch this shit so far past its prime?

Its not just south park though. Its always sunny in Philadelphia, the simpsons and I'm sure there are hundreds of other examples. It doesn't just pertain to tv and movie though. I mean you have video game franchises like GTA or far cry where no matter how shit it becomes, a certain normlafag subset of the population will continue to consume it regardless. Even worse, they will pretend that its better than ever and always great and amazing.

Are they trying to re-capture their youth? Is it some kind of brand loyalty thing where they have to convince themselves its still good. Its always sunny is especially egregious. The show has done a complete 180 from the earlier seasons that originally created its buzz and following. Help me understand.

I wish I could avoid normalfags but the normalfags and their influence spread far and wide.

There's nothing else. Remember that feeling in the late 2000s that we were on the verge of the new thing? Never happened. We're all stuck.

There's plenty of new stuff to occupy your time over the old stuff. Even if there weren't, isn't it preferable to find more old media that is new to you than to watch the same stale garbage you found refreshing 10 years ago?

Fuck, I think staring at a wall and meditating would be better.

All of it's even worse.

For me it's just more pain that we had this and threw it all away for nothing.

I completely gave up on the Simpsons and South Park years ago but I can't let go of Always Sunny for some reason. It's an absolute slog but I still try to keep up with the new episodes in case they make something good. (I know they won't)
