I think Matt and Fray are in a different predicament for writing South Park than the crew at DHX, honestly. You sort of anticipate people hating controversial jokes in a show, that's why you have the courage to write it.

But the people at DHX do care deeply of how fans react, because what they're writing isn't expected to cause such anger, unlike a controversial joke.

So I see both as noble, one for passion in what they write and the other for reaching out to the fandom, even forming a relationship with it.

And I think that's why many at DHX feel disheartened, being this close to the fans causes backlash and hate mail to feel a lot more personal. In other words, the threats Matt and Fray receive is a mere stone in the road, hardly blocking they're passion to write. But the harassment at DHX is a direct attack in they're passion to be close to the fans.

Put it like this, what if people, A LOT of people, told Matt and Trey should stop writing and that they weren't funny, and not just because of the latest controversial joke, but because people no longer found them funny. And those who did made little to no expression of appreciation, or were drowned out by those hating on the writers. Doesn't that undo they're passion? That now what they aspire to do seems futile?

Lets say your whole reason to write... was destroyed.
