Here is the true message of this special since both the left and the right are too stupid to understand:
Pandering is a lazy form of storytelling, but sending hate to Disney doesn’t solve anything. If anything, it gives them a reason to do more pandering. Cartman is DEFINETLY NOT the voice of reason of this special. Stan and Kyle are. Their cordial speech on why pandering doesn’t work is Trey and Matt’s voice being heard. Stuff like Miles Morales is a great way of representation because it is innovative and a complete new spin on a classic character. Race swapping is just lazy.
I hate how the left wing only focus on the part where Cartman says “complaining about woke stuff is kinda lame” at the end, and use it as the basis of what they think the message of the special is, as if it is in favour of their side only. Disliking pandering isn’t a right wing viewpoint, and I hate how people think it is. They missed the point.
I also hate how the right wing think that Cartman IS the voice of reason, thinking that the whole episode supports the their side only and that sending hate to Disney is the right way to go about it. It is annoying to see conservatives act like the whole episode is for them. They have also missed the point.
Did you miss where Cartman and Kathleen agreed they were both wrong?
South Park has always been about making fun of both left, and right. Including and not limited to every single other belief, joy, or topic lol.
Anything thinking that Matt/Trey or South Park leans towards supporting one side or another is usually in most instances wrong.
I haven’t even seen the special, but I knew immediately they wouldn’t just be making fun of race swapping, that’s too easy.
Can anyone tell me how the right looked bad in this episode? Especially compared to the left? To be clear I think they all suck.
The thing is that Cartman is largely just a strawman but yeah sure whatever. The people that are critical of Disney aren’t “right wingers” they are legitimate fans that are told “we don’t want your patronage anymore, kindly fuck off” and so they did. And now look at Disney.
Finally someone gets it 👏
