Thank You So Much, OP! This Community Would Be So Much Healthier If Everyone Had This Mindset.

Thank you so much, OP! This community would be so much healthier if everyone had this mindset.

People need to accept that while, yes, John did some things that should NEVER be overlooked, we need to take into account that we should hold ALL FOUR Beatles in an equal regard.

The Beatles were and continue to be four of the most innovative people in the modern age, but as a community we must understand the full picture and look beyond the myths and stereotyped beliefs about them, Lennon especially.

For my first post, I’m putting my opinion out there loud and clear:

John Lennon has been villainized to an incredible extent.

Not only are a lot of the things that people hate him for dramatised half-truths, they are also hypocritical - seeing as most of the time, they’ll idolise one of the other Beatles who has done the same thing but haven’t been bothered to look into it.

I’m well aware that he did some awful stuff, and I am not brushing that off at all, but I find the lengths that most people go to to tell others about how much they hate him so stupid. He held himself accountable for many of the things he did and he worked later in life to ‘redeem’ himself, but he was killed before he could even reach his early forties.

All of the Beatles have all been awful at some point - they were famous white men in the 60s. But no one seems to say anything about the the others (there’s no shade being thrown here, I actually really do love them all, but the blame is very unevenly distributed.) Lennon was an incredible, flawed, complicated person with a lot of issues that weren’t addressed.

Also, reminder for people who love Paul McCartney but hate on others for loving John Lennon - why would Paul McCartney continue to defend a ‘bad’ man he’d spent a huge chunk of his life being best friends with and knows more about than any of you to this day?

Make it make sense.

I’m very sorry I’m passionate ab this. Ofc, think what you want, but PLEASE stop going into the comment sections of photos of him and going ‘drugs’ because r u so serious? What do u think they were all doing during Sgt. Pepper? It was not a one man thing…

HAPPY TREY/STAN DAY!!

TREY: i owe a lot to both him and matt. without them my #1 big comfort show wouldn’t exist??? so i guess i should say.. thanks for keeping it going through all these years. it means a LOT to not only just me but MILLIONS of other people as well. also… trey’s scripts are always so… so GOOD??? and the fact that he’s been able to keep that quality for 25 years… wow. also he voices SO MANY characters on the show including THE MOST ICONIC CHARACTER??? this dude literally made eric into CARTMAN. happy 54th trey. i can’t wait to see what the next 4 years of south park will bring!!

STAN: this character has been a BIG source of emotional comfort to me. honestly i didn’t think too much of stan at first, but now he’s definitely in my top 3 (and that’s saying a lot, considering the sheer size of this show’s cast of characters). never in my life have i related to a character more than stan. every time this character is on screen i am reminded of the fourth-grade me. his experiences with his family and his friends, his overall personality, and most of all how he has grown and changed as a person (yes, i am referring to “You’re Getting Old” and “Ass Burgers”). i think every person has had the experience of the rapid emotional change one experiences around the time they hit puberty, but seeing it in the way it was portrayed with stan just hit so close to home for me. it felt like such a shared experience seeing a character go through the process of likes/dislikes transforming themselves and relationships quickly changing for the worse, all topped by the conflict of his parents’ dysfunctional marriage. i had BEEN THERE BEFORE.

anyways, stan is such an amazing character and i couldn’t haven chosen a better protagonist for this show. you go lil man
