“South Park: Not Suitable for Children” spoofs OnlyFans, the popular adult content creation platform. In the new trailer, Mr. Skinner bursts into his classroom and exclaims they have a problem. The parents of South Park then assemble for a meeting. They shout out, “We’re talking about someone who influences our children!” and “This isn’t just softcore porn we’re talking about here!”

The official logline reads, “After it’s discovered that a teacher at South Park Elementary has an OnlyFans page, Randy is compelled to take a closer look at the seedy underbelly of the world of on-line influencers.”

Why is "drop" the new word for "release" ? it means the exact opposite!

You have to look at the context to figure out which meaning is being used. in this case I had to go read the article to clarify!

Sounds like a good episode!

God, I hate that too. It's like everything is a f***ing hip-hop album now.

Drop and release mean more or less the same thing, which is why the words are so often used interchangeably.

Yeah they do now , thanks to the modern bastardisation I was highlighting.

But "drop" also means , traditionally , "Get rid of"
like "you've been dropped from the team"

This modern parlance of our times has been used to "drop a bomb in conversation" , ok that works ( you can see where "drop" comes into the metaphor ) - but to extend that to referring to a major unveiling of a million dollar commercial product just doesent seem right

"Apple just dropped their latest iPhone" ? does that sound ok?
Chevy just dropped a corvette?

In SQL language guess what DROP TABLE means.

Doesn't "you've been released from the team" mean the same thing?

Drop and release synonyms, which is why saying "Apple dropped their new iPhone today" sounds just as correct as "Apple released their new iPhone today." The terms have been used interchangeably to mean a person or company issuing a new product or concept since the early '90s, making it a somewhat new colloquialism, but at least it's one that makes sense grammatically.
