‘South Park’ Co-Creator Matt Stone Explains Why Critics Trashed Dave Chappelle: ‘To Keep Their Jobs’

Matt Stone, co-creator of "South Park," lamented the "cancel culture" climate in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter (THR), wherein he accused critics of lying about their dislike of Dave Chappelle's recent Netflix comedy special "Sticks & Stones" in order to stay in the good graces of the woke crowd.

"It's new," Stone said of cancel culture. "I don't want to say it's the same as it's always been. The kids are f***ing different than us. There's a generational thing going on."

"South Park" has been hit by cancel culture on many occasions, with various parenting advocacy groups working to have the show pulled off the air for nearly two decades. When it comes to Dave Chappelle, Stone doesn't believe the comedian will be canceled anytime soon — but he did lament how critics trashed his Netflix special.

For over 50 years, I've never hear the word "woke". In the last year, I've heard it once a day.

It originated from Ebonics. You were woke if you realized the racism and oppression the blacks had endured. And then it spread to other victim mentality groups. It's not that these groups all of a sudden woke up to anything. They figured out playing the victim would enable them to raise hell and get away with it. And of course the democrats jumped right on it because they love victim votes.
