Art Isn't Supposed to Tell You How to Feel!

Every time I visit The Onion's AV Club, I get unreasonably angry, but for some reason I always go back to it. I think they just killed my desire to ever read any of their television episode reviews again, though.
The final bullet? This sentence from a negative review of this week's nuanced and morally conflicted episode of South Park, which presented difficult issues without either moralizing or lecturing. The reviewer, John Hugar, utterly perplexed by nuance and moral conflict, fired off this rocket of critical ignorance:

"What really derails this episode, however, is that we’re never supposed to know exactly how we’re supposed to feel about what’s going on here."

I don't want any human being to tell me how to think. Why then, would I want the media I consume to do so? South Park exists to provoke the viewer. When South Park presents an issue, in this case, beloved media figures who have fallen from grace, it does not tell you how you should feel. It instead asks a question: How do you feel about this?
That is what I want from the art I consume. Provoke me to think. Don't do the thinking for me. Ugh. What is happening with the world? Critical thinking is key for an educated society, and should be encouraged. Otherwise, would kind of society are we?
The worst part is, what review gets posted to Wikipedia, giving passersby  glancing opinion of the episode? Why, of the two listed, one is from John Hugar's review on the AV Club.
Ugh...
