Trey Parker and Matt Stone are probably two of the most courageous and talented satirist the world truly needs right now.
Props to them for being one of the only people who views Woke as something else other than just the cringe way of saying “Political Correctness”
Truly admirable and sagacious comedy CHADS!!!
Yeah so have I and so did I. I grew up with nothing but Comedy Central on TV at my dads.
If you think they were making fun of Goobacks, youre once again missing the whole episodes point of doing better for those around you and the world in general to prevent massive immigration.
They weren’t shitting on hybrids, they were shitting on the smug ass owners of them which very much was a thing, now they’ve just transitioned to being Tesla owners.
And I don’t remember starving Africans well enough rn to dispute you, but I genuinely think you’re viewing their show through a reactionary lense and immediately clutching your pearls.
For as crass and immature as the show is on a surface level, there’s tons of nuance as you get deeper into the meanings you’re meant to gleam from it.
The characters basically never learn or become better as people because they’re not supposed to.
I garuntee if you sat down and actually watched the show, youd realize very quickly these guys only hate pretentious hypocrites, racists, bigots and politicians. But most people miss that because they’ve decided you can’t poke fun at anyone without being part of that group, entirely missing Matt and Treys point for the last 30 years.
Again, watched it as it came out. Watched the arc with family guy where they made that point explicitly. It still is just them trying to pretend that they don’t have a political viewpoint and “poke fun at everyone” when it’s pretty clear that was never the case. In other forms of media it’s called the “view from nowhere”, and it does have a political bent despite them continually trying to say that it does not with the assistance of people such as yourself.
They called climate change “manbearpig” and have since apologized for it. Also, if South Park is deep or nuanced to you, I’m not sure what to tell you, because it isn’t. At all.
