Everyone seems completely out of character in this episode. Eric gives up and becomes PC for 4 days of detention? [Remember Casa bonita?
("well kid you made an entire town panic, you lost all your friends and now you're going to juvenile hall for a week, was it worth it?" "Totally")
Scott tenorman must die? or other countless episodes?? and Eric is straightened out by four days of detention??].
Kyle goes to Eric to get help? Eric gets beaten the shit out of him for no reason and he's again ready to give up? No revenge for this from Cartman? (Remember Prof. Mackey throwing Cartman under the bus? that was funny, not this). Eric tries to help Kyle(?) instead of enjoying Kyle getting punished for no reason at all? Kyle, the voice of reason in the show gives in to PC bullys? (And why does kyle stop everyone when PC cults where finally getting what they deserved?). Everyone in southpark gives in to PC bullys? (Remember how they pushed out jersey folk despite being labelled intolerant by media?). In these newer seasons, I especially dislike that Eric is now just a little mean normal kid, instead of the deranged, racist, intolerant asshole he was. And Kyle isn't as reasonable as he used to be. Now they're both just some kids, instead of characters with their own traits.
