On one issue?
This was the one that truly did damage, more so than Manbear. Also the transphobic dolphin one was very influential.
Reread this entire conversation. I brought up a viral reddit post that was being shared. No where did I say this was the only issue OR THE SOURCE OF THE HASHTAG and not once did I say it didn't matter.
The show's transphobia can't be discounted either. I had to laugh back when people thought that Lorde episode from a few years ago was progressive
This the same show that thinks its really funny that Cartman is called "The Coon"?
Did they ever apologize for comparing transitioning genders to getting race-changing surgery or transforming into a dolphin? Because even back then I knew that episode was really, really not ok.
So basically "South Park is/was good when it aligned with my viewpoints"
I don't know how you can say that. "South Park Republican", a term for young right-leaning voters inspired by the show, exists for a reason. And though Matt and Trey call themselves libertarians, they've participated in Republican events and certainly fall on the side of many, many flat-out Republican view points.
Provide the quote where I said that exactly. You seem more interested in creating false arguments to respond to than responding to my actual posts.
As someone who got made fun of for years due to something made up on the show, yeah. Also, the number of stupid quotes I've heard from South Park fans imitating Japanese people when I mentioned I lived there was racist and obnoxious. I think a lot of Americans don't process a lot of the shitty stuff they took from South Park, because it's comedy.
The left isn't asking for South Park to be cancelled. It's asking them to do better when it comes to certain topics (i.e. Their episode on trans athletes this past season for example was the show at its worst).
So you are trying to say "Darryl M R I cannot find you posting any arguments about manbearpig in this thread" ?
No I think I posted a viral Reddit post, and clearly stated that this was a viral Reddit post being shared under that thread. Not once did I say that I shared 100% of the same exact arguments. But I see that you rather create narratives in your head and respond to them, as evident in this thread, than respond to my actual post, so I think we are done here.
I don't know how anybody can take the show so seriously all the time. The fact that it's children doing these things should be the first sign that it's "heavy satire"
You should watch It's Always Sunny to see what actual left leaning television under the guise of offensive humor looks like. Not the centrist trash that is south park.
