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

    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
