The internet has a difficult time with nuance. Edit: I was wondering why this got so downvoted, but I probably didn't get my point across. I'm not commenting on the quality of the show, I'm commenting on the internet's tendency to jump straight to "this creative work lacks any redeeming qualities and the creators of said work should be punished for their role in it." On reddit in particular, the backlash against this show was suspiciously vitriolic.

To your edit: are you really surprised when the show was geared towards offending the only audience the show would ever have?

The show is hot dogshit, made for an audience that doesn't exist. Of course the response was vitriolic, it is quite literally the only outcome for a show so poorly thought out.
