They’re setting it up that way to lead you in that direction. That’s why you’re part of the joke. They appear play both sides. Matt and Trey think pc culture is a joke itself. The people who buy in are the biggest part of it. You’re only skimming the surface. Look a little deeper.

Oh yeah, way to make a statement against social injustice and bigotry and then immediately obliterate it by being as repugnant and bigoted as you possibly can be. Bravo, you’re a real genius.

Yup, every time a black guy drives a nice car, he gets pulled over and harassed/arrested/shot. It’s a wonder that the NBA and NFL have any players left!

Then you missed the point of the commentary being comedy. Of all the characters it came from it was Cartman who said it. Thus it’s only there for a comedic sense since Cartman assumes just because you are black things are harder. To take this as 100% face value, would mean everything else Cartman says is commentary,…

So because slaves existed in this country 150+ years ago (they still exist in various parts of the world, to varying degrees), you think that means that cops just shoot black people the second they see they have a gun, but they don’t do that with white people? Got it. Totally sound theory.

My one “anecdote” (something that actually happened) carries significantly more weight than his broad generalization based on literally nothing that I’m sure even he knows is an extreme exaggeration at best and 100% false at worse.

I mean South Park essentially popularized being an asshole as a political movement which played a factor in the creation of the alt-right. Why do you think Matt and Trey won’t make jokes at Trump? It’s because what’s left of their fanbase would riot.

THIS is the beauty of South Park!

The point of South Park goes over most people’s heads. But there’s no winning with people on this or any other kinja site. Everything’s black and white (no pun intended), and if you even suggest that they’re latching onto the wrong thing or you throw a pebble into their echo chamber, they will lash out against you…

Not once did I make that statement. But you’re either completely fucking stupid or just thoroughly disingenuous if you think a rich half-white child of some Hollywood mega-gazillionaire is having a hard life on any level. There’s a difference between “people are sometimes racist towards me” and “my life is really…

TBH both sides have insanely thin skin and constantly melt like an ice cream thrown into Mount Doom 

Huh. My white cousin that was shot to death by police didn’t have a gun, so where does he fall in relation to your model?

Really think about it. It’s satire. Humor, with no context from whoever decided to create it in such a way.
To decide its purpose without knowing why the author did it is literally ignorant and shows confirmation bias, which is a bad thing in all cases.

Are you trying to argue against this guy’s point? Because you’re kind of making it for him. His argument is that South Park doesn’t make such obvious and straightforward jokes, which is what everyone assumes is happening here, and that they make fun of everyone and they don’t take moral stances on things in such an…

Exactly. It’s genius really. AND it provides something for both sides to latch onto. Superficially people think it’s the same commentary they’re used to. On a deeper level they’re actually the joke.

You realize the alt right LOVES south park, right? Soth Park was peddling the ‘both sides’ and “people complaining about problem X are the real problem” arguments back when Trump was pretending to be a democrat.

The joke —->

Ha. Love how the left can’t take a joke! I think this is hilarious. It is clearly making fun of people who SAY that life is harder based on skin color. This whole franchise is a parody. Why wouldn’t the difficulty slider be one??

Why? It’s making fun of both sides.

I have a feeling the meltdowns will be coming from both sides.
