Haven’t watched the newest special, but I’m assuming Cartman is representing overly sensitive “anti-woke” people

    The irony of mocking right wing accounts for ‘missing the point’ when you yourself have also missed the point is incredible.

    They’re mocking all of you. God I love South Park so much.

      It’s not ironic at all. OP clearly said he hasn’t seen the special yet. I’ll let you bask in the aroma of your own farts tho ig

      It doesn’t seem like that particular left winger missed the point?

      They’re mocking all of you

      Including themselves! If they weren’t so quick to laugh at themselves, South Park probably wouldn’t have been as funny to me.

      If you think South Park only mocks the side you disagree with, you shouldn’t be watching South Park.

      A lot of people don’t realize they made Kathleen Kennedy Cartman… The worst kid in South Park, a racist. They literally said “you have become the very thing you swore to destroy”.

        You literally didn’t watch it, so it’s pretty funny you think you know the point T+P were making. Spoiler: they were making fun of both sides

      As a non American. Yes mocking all bit woke people still have a point while anti-woke people are just being bigots.

      Isn’t it beautiful? Watching the woke and anti-woke crowds miss the point entirely to shit on each other is almost funnier than the special itself

          That is pretty much the world today. People have to make everything black and white without any room for nuance. Tbf I’m doing it myself rn, because ofc there’s plenty of people out there who don’t see everything completely one-sided.

        I almost feel south park in a way know what they are doing. The partisan wars make up a big nu ber and they both love claiming south park. I know south park are mocking the whole situation. But a part of me thinks they are fine with both sides confirmation biasing for the ratings.

        It’s a strategy that badly dates the show as the years go on though. There are times back maybe 20 years ago when they appeared to be obstinate just for the sake of it (ie appealing to climate change deniers, which is a stance they’ve tried to walk back in more recent times).

          While manbearpig was real I grant you, my kids won’t have to fight him in the snow or underwater anytime soon.

          So maybe when the episode came out, instead of coming away with the assumption that it was denying climate change… you could have just took it as the joke about hysterical attention seekers capitalizing on the latest doomsday scenerio that it was, and just fuckin laugh that he kept saying cerial instead of grandstanding now that the cartoon famous for both siding everything was wrong about climate change back when it was still global cooling and we trusted the science to rely on skepticism and welcoming questioning the majority opinion

      I keep quoting this but I think it works as an analogy. Scrotie mcbooger balls episode quote goes something like this. “This book really sticks it to those pro lifers” and then someone else says “this book is as pro life as it gets”. Both liberals and conservatives are arguing about who south park is for and who they are making fun of when they are actually making fun of everybody. Liberals and conservatives seem to be blind themselves of being mocked by south park.
