        I’m fine with people having fun and taking about it being well done, etc.

        It’s the claims of impact I have issue with.

          That’s the impact it has, though. It’s not changing minds or making any kind of meaningful change in the world. But it’s letting people feel better about their own opinions without ever having to take meaningful action.

          The impact it has is generally negative, but it’s popular and makes fun of terrible people, so it gets defined as that show that’s so meaningful.
