SOUTH PARK FANDOM ENTITLEMENT (essay)

SOUTH PARK FANDOM ENTITLEMENT: or, how discourse (and entitlement) ruins things for everybody. is the full title of an essay by user Amporella, posted to Tumblr and shared on Twitter.
The essay is structured by first defining discourse, explaining how it starts, why it matters, examining the question if certain fan content should or should not be produced, and suggesting remedies particularly by suggesting fans continue to create content rather than respond negatively to content they dislike. A central part of Amporella's thesis is the suggestion that an individuals' viewpoint is not sufficient to determine whether certain content is problematic.
Many fans took surprising offense to the essay, with responses suggesting that "a college essay did not need to be made about something stupid like south park fandom", instructing the poster "begging some of you to get a life" and remarking that "sp is a fictional show, with fictional characters in a fictional town…it’s not that deep and it never was."
