Beavis & Butthead? You like this trash?

South Park? You like this trash?

Salad Fingers? You like this trash?

Monty Python? You like this trash?

Rick and Morty? You like this trash?

Elvis? You like this trash?

It's tiring; people should let people have things. And get over themselves because not everything is or has to be for them or for everyone's liking. That's art.

The “actually gatekeeping is bad mmkay” crowd is exactly why so many good things decay and degrade to become bad things later.

Gatekeeping is good and please do it more aggressively in the future.

Do you genuinely believe that a lack of gatekeeping is what ruins multimedia franchises, and not the desperate lowest-common-denominator marketing ploys designed by the rightsholders?
Gen X - those all suck.
Millennial - everything sucks and I wish I was dead.
