>>3022381>>3022381I think I know what you mean.
Personally I'm not a fan of crack pairings (the kind that put two very distant/random characters together) because to me that's reminiscent of "sex with strangers" and "one night stands". A lot of people like the unorthodox nature of it and I agree with you that it felt like the drive behind Tweek/Craig fans, that randomness that was open for explanation.
But it does make me wonder if Trey Parker did that on purpose. He seems to like pulling the rug out from under people (I like that he does it too). So he flipped it around, took the law of the proximity principle, some expectant towns people, and made the pairing real. It's beautiful to me, really. He just did what every other crack pairing-lover does and made a reason for them to be together. But he did it with his (and Matt's) own characters and put it with the rest of the episodes. Like he's showing everyone that literally anything is possible in this show, even crack gay ships that you think could never be canon. Sure, it might make the pairing seem "overrated" now but really he didn't do anything different from a fan writing fan fiction. It's just that it was HIM writing it and not someone else.
I like that he did it whether people would like it or not.
