South Park fans go wild for ‘sexual’ OnlyFans special ‘Not Safe for Children’ – hailing it as ‘hilarious’ and ‘very accurate’

South Park's latest special has taken an even naughtier turn – and viewers have declared the episode to be uncomfortably close to the real world of online influencing.

South Park: Not Applicable for Children, which aired Wednesday, focuses on the world of online pornography on OnlyFans and the larger problems caused by social media, which often targets children.

The episode mocked the backlash surrounding OnlyFans, the online subscription service used by many adult content creators, and how sensitive children are to the effects of influencers.

It also commented on the products marketed to children using a hydration drink called Cred – an apparent dig at the Prime energy drinks founded by YouTube stars Logan Paul And ASI – as the product that the schoolchildren loved.

Many have commented on the show's similarity to the real world of influencing – and the way online platforms specifically target children.

“I thought it was really funny the whole time, they balanced the commentary really well with the wonderfully stupid South Park humor,” wrote a commenter on the South Park Reddit thread about the episode.

“I hope it picks up steam and people find out despite the lack of promo because I think it's really funny and a lot of parents need to see it,” they added.

Other users noted how appropriate the child's obsession with Logan Paul's energy drink, Prime, was in the episode.

“If you've seen how some real kids want Prime brand drinks, you might feel a little differently. My friend's kid in kindergarten begs for them all the time,” one user commented on the thread.

“I love it when Matt and Trey take a tough stance, or when an episode makes me think about the state of our society,” another wrote. “They don't often express their opinions forcefully, but when they do, it's quite nice.”

Others praised the special's realistic portrayal, despite the many cartoon penises they saw.

“Spoiler It's pretty much all penises,” said one viewer.

'Wow. They gave us the warning at the beginning of the special, but I didn't expect it to stay out for pretty much the entire episode. Overall a good time, I'd say,” another agreed.

The episode was based on parental concerns after the online presence of a certain teacher was discovered, apparently 'not suitable for children', and on the general influence culture.

The official synopsis for the special, streaming on Paramount+, reads: “After it's discovered that a teacher at South Park Elementary has an OnlyFans page, Randy is forced to take a closer look at the seedy underbelly of the world of online influencers. '

A teaser for the episode was released on Wednesday, in which furious parents took action about the discovery of OnlyFans.

It shows Mr. Skinner rushing into the classroom, concerned after finding the page and the South Park parents gather to talk about it.

“We're talking about someone influencing our children,” the parents shout, adding, “This isn't just softcore porn we're talking about!”

It is the sixth South Park special to air, including: South Park: Post Covid, South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid, South Park: The Streaming Wars, South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2 and South Park: Joining the Panderverse.

The episode aired internationally on December 21 in the UK, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and debuts in Italy on December 23.

Other specials aired by the cartoon series made fun of political and social issues.

The episode is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the stories of teachers who lead double lives as both educators and OnlyFans creators, and who have been pressured to quit when their profiles were discovered.

In November, Allie Dawson, a teacher turned OnlyFans creator, received a letter from the education committee saying it had voted to recommend that the 29-year-old be “reprimanded” for the explicit content shared online. .

The document also stated that an “anonymous email” was sent to the director stating, among other things, that Allie had posted photos of herself in lingerie.

In September, Brianna Coppage, 28, was placed on leave from St Clair High School in Missouri after administrators received a report that an employee “may have posted inappropriate media to one or more Internet sites.”

A recent special called Joining the Panderverse, which aired on Paramount+ in October, threw satirical grenades at the Hollywood film studios over their politically correct casting.

In February, South Park focused on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in an episode depicting the Prince and Princess of Canada – a young royal couple loudly begging for privacy while drawing attention to themselves.

The red-haired prince and his wife, wearing the same dusty pink outfit Meghan wore for Trooping the Color in 2018, along with an almost identical white hat tilted on her head, are seen promoting the prince's book – Waaagh – the cover of which closely resembles Harry's memoir Spare.

They storm off during a TV show after being challenged about their motives, before moving to South Park, with the princess declaring, “If we moved here, people would think we really want to be serious.”

The show's creators and writers Trey Parker and Matt Stone said they have had many complaints during the 26 years they have written for the Comedy Central show.

The pair appeared on the Basic! podcast in March to discuss their many criticisms following the devastating episode involving Meghan and Harry, which is said to have upset the royal couple.

However, Parker and Stone say they are no strangers to lawsuits and are not afraid of them.

The pair opened up about the show's controversial history, with much of their work leading to legal action.

They told the hosts of Basic! Doug Herzog and Jen Chaney said that “there are so many moments we can't even remember” when it came to criticizing their animated series.
