I never really tolerated this take on the show. And how many often accused Matt and Trey of being libertarians or even downright bigots even though they’re trying to make a socialist statement on civilisation or the topic of the week like gay marriage and treatment of disability in media and how people could potentially be faking it for exploitation both of which were actually very well done and progressive especially the tourettes example.

Also they’ve ruthless mocked Trump in a story arc not only once but twice. And their latest season is so aggressively ruthless and savage, It feels like they’re doing more for the liberal No Kings uprising than The current democratic party leaders who are all talk and no substance.

I’m not saying I don’t fully disagree with people’s disdain for the show (primarily the trans community. I can see why they hate South Park’s guts) but to consider it a permanent stain on basic human decency and a horrid influence for milennials is honestly pretty hair splitting if you’d ask me.

Am I missing something here within these folks? is punching sideways/mocking everyone equally really any worst than complete douchebags straight up punching down for the sake of pissing off the unfortunate because they find it hilarious (Looking at you Tony Hinchcliffe, and Babylon Bee)? Are the South Park guys really to blame for shaping an entire demographic into not caring about any Global Disputes with Current Affairs? Or did the boundaries pushing and subtle satire simply got lost in people who either grewed up into the very thing they were mocking or viewed it as a cesspool of nihlist Slop?

    Ah yes, the typical far-right technique of mirroring attacks against them.

    “We’re not antisemitic nazis, the leftists are, look at them criticizing Israel”.

    “I’m colorblind, maybe you’re the racist one by focusing so much on color”

    And whatnot.

    Let me guess, next you’re going to start mentioning freedom of speech?

      next time someone says something you don’t agree with in person, i think you should go punch them in the face, and beat them until they are hospitalized.

      and see how far that gets you in your quest for justice. show everyone how just you are by beating the shit out of a person for real, instead of fantasizing about it online. see how they react.

        Another typical far-right thing, building a strawman and going crazy on it.

        I don’t want to punch people I disagree with, I want to punch nazis. The fact that you are getting so concerned by that is strange, because I am not scared of people who hunt nazis. It’s actually pretty easy to not be a nazi.

        So the question really is, why are you so worried about the wellbeing of nazis?

        And because I know what you’re going to say, what I consider a nazi is someone that wants to oppress minorities or goes against their existence. If you defend that, then you’re part of them.
