So if South Park had a scene where the joke was just to call Token the n-word would it be "faux rage" for someone to make an article on that scene?
I might have to disagree on you with that. Many white countries around the world persecute Christians, Muslims, etc. Also, I've heard news reports of bosses intentionally not giving jobs to people because they were Christian.
See that's the sort of thing that could potentially have sort of salvaged this. I remember the episode where Stan made friends with a Mormon but then was too much of a dick to stay friends with a Mormon and then at the end of the episode he learned his lesson and saw what an ass he'd been. But I didn't expect that to happen here. It seemed too incidental and like it wasn't going to get that sort of treatment. Too bad. Should've left it out or left it at Mackey's well meaning ignorance.
It ultimately doesn't matter if it's generic or not. If you're trans, and playing through the game as trans, you're going to identify and recognize these things, whether they were meant to be specific to that character or not.
If you're going to say stuff like this, provide any amount of evidence if you want to be taken seriously.

Sorry, I should've made it clear that I'm not defending South Park or its creators. My point was that they've always had a shitty style of "humor". I'm also considering stuff like Basketball. I've never been a fan of South Park and its white frat bro style humor. I just don't understand how someone can take offense to this new game as if this type of insensitivity is new. Is it okay? No, it's annoying. But what you can do is not support the creators and publishers of the title.
Depends who's saying it and how's it's said honestly. Sometimes a lot of characters say really mean ignorant shit and it's funny because you end up thinking "man that's fucked up. Shouldn't be happening- especially with kids." And that's why I think the humor works sometimes, because these are supposed to be kids where fucked up shit keeps happening to them.
Just because it's not surprising doesn't mean it's not disappointing. There's no reason why a writer shouldn't critique South Park.
I really don't think this poster was implying that trans people are mentally ill. Given their history.
No, that's terrible. But it doesn't mean that the show can't make a light hearted jokes of the people. Also, what you described can also be attached to a certain individual in the white house...But I digress, the point I'm trying to make is that South Park takes digs at everyone. To be honest, I heard worse from the show(also some that pertain to me) and I don't find them offensive at all. I feel people just need to take a step back and realize it's a cartoon meant to be offensive, and nothing more. It might be bad/unoriginal humor, but people find it funny for that exact reason.
Light hearted you say. What's light hearted about the scripted line in the game?
A defense one could use in court after killing a trans person. It's totally legal to use in 48 states
This is a breakdown of religious demographics. I'm looking for some sort of evidence that white Christians are indeed more advantaged than other groups.
Well, thanks for confirming you have no interest in an intellectually honest discussion.
No, I'm suggesting I would like to see some sort of statistical basis for such a declarative statement so I can reconcile my beliefs to the facts.
How about the fact that it's a country that was founded entirely by white Christians, has always (with one exception) been led by a white Christian, and a vast majority of the people who have served in public office throughout the years have been white Christians? This means that the people who set the laws of the nation and have some of the loudest megaphones have way more often than not done so from a white Christian perspective. People like me (a white Christian) naturally benefit from that fact.
I also checked the red banners and I also have the sentiment that both posters weren't referencing the "mental illness" to trans people. Sorry for them if that would be the case :/.
I don't believe this. There are ways to poke fun at our differences without being tone deaf.
Not that this has anything to do with the thread's issue but hey
Edit:
That's where you're wrong kiddo:
