Do Trey Parker and Matt Stone have have their fingers on the pulse of the culture war or what?! I loved this!

Best thing Paramount ever did was acquiring South Park! It’s streaming service is 10 bucks a month I have no problem paying!

Does anyone know if when SP goes exclusively to Paramount, if they’re taking the HBO covid special?

    Loved how it made fun of both sides. How the people who are always botching about things being “Woke” need are usually just being assholes, but that Hollywood just switching out known and loved characters with different races just so they can meet some sort of quota of diversity is just lazy as fuck pandering.

      I would say not every instant is just pandering. Wouldn’t keeping everything white makes still just be pandering to the insecure pieces of shit they are?

      Pandering happens regardless, that’s what people aren’t getting.

      Most of these characters are only what they are due to (wait for it) pandering. Pandering to the white males who could buy the shit. Wouldn’t see a black captain America when segregation was still a thing. It isn’t based on some sort of creative intent. It was made to pander to white dudes from the very beginning.

      If changing up some characters helps other folks feel represented in a way that white dudes have had forever, then I’m cool with it. Even if the studio intent is “pandering” it doesn’t change the outcome of representation which is important.

        Are you stupid? You realize South Park was one of the first shows to show gay characters and say accept them for being gay so what it doesn’t matter. And that it wasn’t a pandering issue it was be a decent human issue.

        And that the Tolkien Black kid, wasn’t stereotypical dumb and poor and from a broken household but instead smart and rich and from a loving two parent household.

        You’re really upset that South Park is pointing how the constant pandering IS ruining television and movies. Pandering for the sake of Pandering IS lazy, tactless, and not though provoking in any way. You’re just happy it’s cartman doing all the complaining.

      Not always. I wanna see Matt and Trey grow some balls and make fun of their pal Elon Musk. Dude is just asking for the real South Park treatment.
