unless its pure satire and has zero political correctness, bringing politics into anything is a sure fire way of turning huge amounts of people away from it
yeah it's that and how the Simpsons went from once in a great while making a mildly political joke to it being all the time, although sometimes "coded" where only the adults would really get it. Simpsons used to be a prime time "kids show". Not kids as in the age who would watch Spongebob, but early teens and up, but appealed to younger adults too in ways. Hell, I remember growing up my mom didn't want us watching the Simpsons because she didn't like Bart's smart mouth and "swearing" (apparently 'hell' and 'damn' are swears?). Now they can't seem to go an episode without a guest voice or episode built around a character...or keep the writers' politics out of it (we get it, Lisa is a far-left AOC type and Marge is a feminist). Marge's politics used to be relegated to a few flashbacks of her in the 70s bra-burning or whatever, now they insert it into promos for the show and wherever they can...Marge even became a drag queen to sell tupperware recently and they glorified the whole tranny movement. South Park is like this too. Their best seasons were the first 8 or so when mostly the story took place in their own universe and didn't just become Matt and Trey's riff on current events. Yeah there have been a few funny one-liners "Fuck the Chinese Government" and when PC Principal first showed up but now it's just them trying to play both sides of current events for laughs so they don't alienate their viewers...and they are only making like what, 6 episodes a season now? Lazy.

I'm torn, because they make that "Black Light" joke, but then end with "Never Mansplainy" in the song.
Probably too optimistic to hope they don't screw it up...
And the giant troll that they made look like Trump?
The mansplainy bit killed it for me, hard pass.
yeah mansplain is feminazi slang for "reality"
Yeah I liked Pinky and the Brain when they first started.
