* AnAesop: No one enjoys criticism, but you have to learn how to deal with it and deliver it properly. You shouldn't be overly critical or hateful like Cartman or react defensively and negatively like Kathleen Kennedy; otherwise, it'll lead to a lot of problems, and both sides suffer as a result.
** Don't become over reliant on anyone, human or A.I. to do everything for you.

* BrokenAesop: While the show delivers the moral that criticism should be dealt with and delivered properly with Cartman being hateful in his criticism and Kathleen being defensive and angry towards it, the moral on Kathleen's end has some problems as it is established that she was receiving criticism solely from Cartman and that they were way too vicious and hateful for anyone to accept. Because of that, it made sense for Kathleen to act the way she did, as it sent her into a fit of panic and rage.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: The special's two central characters: Eric Cartman and Kathleen Kennedy, are both portrayed as very flawed and going about the wrong way to deliver/deal with criticism. Cartman mostly wrote out of hateful bigotry with very little constructive criticism. Meanwhile Kennedy responded impulsively to Cartman's hate mail instead of ignoring it and ends up taking the easy solution of using the Panderstone. After an argument between the two, they eventually concede that, despite their errors, both of them had a point. Cartman, after learning that his actions only worsened things, admits that it was wrong of him to deliver purely vitriolic and hateful feedback rather than any helpful criticism. Kennedy learns that progress should be fought the hard way without shortcuts and that work's quality and writing should not suffer for the sake of inclusion and diversity. By the episode's end, the two are on friendly terms.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The Panderverse version of Cartman is an older black woman who is mocked for being fat despite at worse having a slightly curvier figure. This is a joke based on both HollywoodBeautyStandards and how Cartman is heavily defined by being an obnoxious FatBastard that doesn't really work when you change things around.

*** On the other side, Kathleen Kennedy doubling down in retaliation at the cost of writing quality is this towards writers who overestimate the number of genuinely bigoted fans and alienate the fans who value writing over all else by fixating on the bigots.
