Without trying to sound all "It's political correctness gone mad!"
We don't really live in the sort of social climate where you could make the same kinds of films as Airplane!/The Naked Gun/Dragnet without igniting a massive social media moral outrage. We don't seem to understand the difference between satirical racism/sexism/homophobia and actual racism/sexism/homophobia these days. Well, I meanwe most of us do, but a huge portion of them don't, and won't even need to see said movie before deciding that their sensibilities have been irreparably damaged by it.

Reasonable point.
Although, I suspect that if South Park first saw the light of day in 2021, there would be significantly more pushback from the present-day pearlclutchers than there was in the late 90's.
The fact that it treats both lefties and righties as fair game in its derision probably works greatly in its favour, too.

These days, they'll remake anything that was successful once

The Scary Movie films drove the nail into the coffin of the entire genre.

It's kind of insulting to Airplane, Police Squad, Top Secret, etc, to lump the Scary Movie films in the same genre.
