This season, South Park has drawn attention for repeatedly targeting President Donald Trump and his administration. In an interview with The New York Times, however, co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker clarified that this wasn’t intentional, but rather a byproduct of the times.

The Pennlive article has this quote about what hapoened

"Apparently when you do everything at the last minute sometimes you don’t get it done,” an Instagram post said. “This one’s on us. We didn’t get it done in time."

Doesn't sound like being cowards to me. And if I recall correctly, this definitely wasn't the first time an episode was delayed. Don't know why you think that.

Sure buddy! Keep defending them, they need you

It’s weird what you all do for famous people. “How dare you call these comedians cowards! South Park is my life!” Yeesh

Literally can’t imagine simping this hard for cartoon creators but there are plenty of you

It's weird how you're giving crap to a show/its creators and calling them cowards for... Missing a deadline.

I swear to god. Everyone from lemmy.world is an idiot. If I could block all of you I would.

You’re not even trying not to be an idiot. Please go away.

“Won’t anyone think of the South Park creators? :( :( :(“

These fandoms are pathetic. You can’t talk about anything without a superfan coming out of the woodwork to defend their heroes.

Every time, like clockwork.

I'm not defending their actions, merely criticizing yours. If they've actually done something worth criticizing then I'm all ears, but even that article you posted doesn't support your claims of them being cowards.
