south park takes a firm stance on issues all the time. gentrification, homophobia, the way social media changes people’s behavior. they did an episode about how fucked up it is that people fly the confederate flag. they did an episode on angry anti-immigrant people and it wasn’t exactly complimentary. they dedicated a…

They blatantly said do not vote for Trump

They were robbed of that Academy Award (for the song “Blame Canada”), and I was delighted they responded with an absurdly over the top mean mockery of Phil Collins.

Totally agree. The misreading of the show is ridiculous.

Yeah, but they typically rip on the more extremes/shitty/stupid things harder and more viciously. I haven’t watched in probably 4 or 5 seasons but I assume it’s still a similar MO. Everyone gets a rip but the worst get it worse.

Their NAMBLA episode basically involved them saying “shut up NAMBLA, you have sex with little boys, fuck what you think,” and one can only hope that the rise of white nationalism in America is enough to warrant a similar response.

South Park doesn’t think everything sucks. A big chunk of what they believe seems to be that extremism in general sucks, that taking things too far can ruin even good causes or ideas.

I don’t really see this “everything sucks/don’t believe in anything” attitude that others see.

Jesus christ it’s a fucking comedy show. You assigning such hardcore negativity to their belief system is infinitely more annoying then the belief system itself.

This commentariat’s ongoing hatred of South Park is raelly baffling
