Talk:Tweek x Craig/@comment-29197651-20160731152717/@comment-27086946-20160801202605

Personally, I have to disagree. Now, what you've said about Craig and Tweek being pressured into a relationship is true, but that's exactly what makes this episode good: the episode is a flip on LGBT dramas, where instead of there being two young gay people are forced to act straight for the benefit of a bigoted community, it's two young straight people are forced to act gay for the benefit of an overly politically-correct community. South Park is known for being a brilliant satire on the modern world, and I felt that parodying both the art form of Yaoi and LGBT issues the way they did was quite intelligent.

Now, I will acknowledge that the humor is not as good in this one as other Season 19 episodes like say, Safe Space, but I felt that it made up for it with character development for our two lead characters: Tweek learns to believe in himself and becomes a much more confident and happier person, and Craig in turn is shown to be a highly indiviudualistic person (as evidenced by his "I can't be something just because everyone wants me to be" line), which makes us sympathise with him more as a character (either he "gets back" with Tweek and is accepted at the expense of his individualism or asserts that he's straight and remains a pariah because of it).

Of course, I'm not trying to change your opinion (it's something you're perfectly entitled to), I'm just contributing my thoughts.
