Trey stone and Matt Parker have never been particularly shy about addressing the obvious elephants in the room, and this season on "South Park," they are absolutely destroying those elephants. Not literally, though, because I love elephants, and if they were actually doing that then I would cry, here's a video of a baby elephant enjoying his bath

Anyway, "South Park" has everything going for it this season, and I really enjoy how the writers are playing into every social and cultural phenomenon that has hit the main stage in the last six months. The writers are addressing everything that everyone wishes they had the balls to say in public, and let me tell you, it's genius.

First things first, I am the realest, but secondly, PC Principle is actually the embodiment of every faculty member of my super liberal Quaker private high school. I think I had at least ten different teachers throughout those years behave and speak in the same exact manner as PC Principle. The character, in brief, is a representation of the ultimate alpha male who likes to think of himself as the vanguard for all things PC, and wishes to inflict his PC ideology on the townspeople - specifically the children who attend South Park Elementary - in order to promote a culture of "tolerance" while at the same time using forms of aggressive bullying to get everyone to follow the PC party line. Brilliant. I literally could not think of a better representation for the exact characters that I have met in real life. For example, I'll never forget sitting in free period when a friend of mine came up to everyone and announced that he had to undergo some form of "sensitivity training" because of a comment that he posted on social media being reported by some very sensitive members of the community to our dean of students. And here’s an even more fun fact: the acronym for my high school is “PC," so holy shit, my life is South Park.

Another huge concept of the show this season is Caitlyn Jenner. I absolutely love the fact that transgender people are starting to be more openly accepted within broader society. What I don’t absolutely love is that it’s being shoved down our throats. Change can either happen very rapidly or very slowly in this country. I don’t believe that as a whole, our society moves very quickly on social issues. And despite the fact that PC culture wants us to move faster, I believe it is an unmanageable task. Just like the line at the DMV, social change can unfortunately move at a snail's pace. But this isn’t something to be worried about, because for all of the supposed backtracking that PC Principle thinks is happening when someone doesn’t agree that Caitlyn Jenner is “stunning and brave," there is still an extremely substantial amount of social progress being made.

Look, to be completely honest, I don’t believe Caitlyn Jenner alone is stunning or brave. The trans community as whole, in my opinion, cannot be represented by just one person, and therefore I can’t stand up and wholeheartedly admire a woman who I don’t think is the one true representative of her community. Shoot me for disagreeing with so many others - well actually, don’t shoot me because most of the PC crowd doesn’t believe in gun ownership rights - but I don’t like the Kardashians, I don’t like the Jenners, and I loathe anyone who tries to shame me into thinking otherwise.

"South Park" has an interesting take on the acceptance of Cait. Parker and Stone are saying two different things: first, you don’t have to like Caitlyn Jenner, and you most certainly don’t have to believe that she alone is the best representative for the trans community, and that's OK. Second, for those who shame you into believing that the former is 100 percent true, you yourself should be ashamed. Isn’t the whole ideology of PC supposed to rely on tolerance of differences? Unfortunately, those differences don’t include differences of opinion, and therefore, myself along with millions of others are put in a corner with a dunce cap for supposedly retrogressive thinking.

Another interesting point that arises this season is the topic of “safe spaces." Again, I loved the writer’s take on this entire theme. Going to my super liberal, progressive high school meant that the entire 40 acre campus and everything surrounding it was a “safe space.” Apparently, safe space is also conducive to the internet, Whole Foods, and any other public area where people engage in social interactions. Here’s a novel idea: what if you say or do something that people don’t agree with and - wait for it - don’t get criticized. Amazing, mind blown. South Park uses Demi Lovato and Lena Dunham as examples, among others, to articulate how celebrities and every day people are using this concept of “safe spaces” to eradicate bullying or negative behavior in general. The issue here that Stone and Parker look to highlight isn’t so much the bullying itself, but rather, how we deal with it in general. Believe it or not, growing up, I was a huge bully. I picked on kids who I didn’t like, would step on the back of their shoes while walking in line from the classroom to lunch, and even made mean drawings and wrote nasty letters to girls who I thought sucked. So, as a former bully, safe spaces actually make sense to me, because I can see how they promote a culture of acceptance and understanding. But "South Park," as usual, takes the concept to the extreme, which is something that I can also truly appreciate.

Safe spaces, according to Stone and Parker’s interpretation, are 100 perent free of negativity. This means that any type of personal opinion that may be considered offensive is banned from the safe space, that any form of constructive criticism or “harsh reality” is unacceptable. South Park takes on the idea of safe spaces to get us thinking about PC culture’s tendency to chase away disagreement, especially if it is seen as inflammatory or a personal attack. For example, in the show, Lena Dunham posts a photo of her asshole on Instagram and asks Butters to remove any negative or hurtful comments. Reading that sentence alone, you should probably be saying to yourself “seriously?” Yeah, me too. As the show is pointing out, according to Lena Dunham, asshole-shaming is just as bad as fat-shaming (if you follow her account, you will know what I am talking about here). The ridiculousness of that scenario should not overshadow the bigger picture: if you put yourself out there for the world to see, don’t expect rainbows and flowers. Not every space is a safe space. In fact, a lot of spaces are unsafe. If you think someone's comment section is being compromised, then take a trip to Saudi Arabia for a second. Want to see what a real unsafe space looks like? Well, you probably won’t be able to ‘Gram it, because you’ll end up with 100 lashes.

OK, last concept that I am obsessed with from this season of "South Park:" The City Part of Town. In the third episode of this season, Kenny’s neighborhood undergoes some major gentrification, and he, along with his family, is not particularly thrilled. Kenny doesn’t want to see his hood become a magnet for gentrification, simple as that. He feels like his geographical identity is being compromised and doesn’t enjoy the thought of “finely appointed residences” that “feature state-of-the-art finishes and balconies with views of historic Kenny’s house." Real-life case in point: literally every run-down part of Bloomington that now boasts at least one modern building - usually an apartment complex - situated next to humble single-family homes that have existed there since the 1960s most likely. Builders are looking for maximizing profits, especially in a college town, and this concept doesn’t really differ when it comes to every other town in America, including "South Park." The episode likes to make a joke out of gentrification, but the issue that Stone and Parker are going after is actually a little bit more complicated. It has to do with our perceptions of socioeconomic classification. Again, going back to my PC high school, I saw this more often than not. There area surrounding my Philadelphia high school had several faces, and some of them were actually kind of sketchy. But most of them, I would have to say, were fairly safe, with many historic buildings preserved and neighborhoods that showed a true appreciation for the original architecture, tree-lined streets and even cobblestone in some places. Case in point: Chestnut Hill. About eight miles from my school and a few left turns later, you end up in one of the most beautiful parts of suburban Philly. It's a host to several private schools, million dollar historic mansions, vast park areas, and every possible type of artisan shop you could ever think of - there is even a cheese one, it's pretty good.

But not all of this neighborhood is gentrified or so pretty to look at, and not all of its residents can afford "state-of-the-art finishes and balconies." Indeed, a large majority of the area is absolutely beautiful and well-preserved in it's heritage. But then, in the midst of it all: a giant, obscene construction site for a large-scale grocery chain, Fresh Grocer. And even more obscene: residents who are not millionaires and who do not savor the enjoyment of overpriced artisan shops every weekend as they sip on a $7 local-organic-gluten-free-gender-neutral-coffee. My best friend from high school is one of those people from Chestnut Hill, actually. She is the daughter of a single mother, grew up in a modest yet really cool historic townhouse, and definitely doesn't consider herself to be a part of the gentrifying that is going on around her home. Stone and Parker would probably appreciate my friend. Not only because she's funny and somewhat of a fuckgirl, but also because she's representative of the kind of person that probably doesn't want to see her home change into something it's not, just like Kenny. I wholeheartedly believe that the people of Bloomington who have lived in town for longer than I have been alive feel the same way. They don't want to see their lives change just because of a high influx of college students coming in with demands for balconies and high-end appliances. They don't want to see the classic craftsmen homes go away just because Millennials aren't interested in a few single-pane windows that preserve character. Kenny doesn't want his neighborhood changing due to the demands of outsiders who simply don't understand his life, his culture, and everything else around him that makes up his socioeconomic standing. He may be poor, but that doesn't mean he's interested in striving for something that he doesn't truly relate to or appreciate, which is exactly what Stone and Parker are looking to explain.

South Park is hitting every note and every nerve of the PC culture this season. Watch to believe, my friends, these men are speaking the truth. So this is where I leave you; I'm actually late to meet a friend for lunch in Chestnut Hill at this amazing farmers market that receives all of its supplies from local organic farming. (Shout out to Top of the Hill, yo).
