I’ve been watching south park since the beginning. This is something they should’ve mocked a while ago. I was really disappointed when they didn’t mock the Floyd riots or covid nonsense like they would’ve back in the day
They really got neutered after the whole Islam/ Mohammed ordeal
To their credit they did admit that they didn't expect Trump to win and didn't really know what to write about it. Most TDS'ers don't admit it.
Current South Park just feels like Ben Shapiro or Fox News meets SNL or Jimmy Kimmel for me.
I think they just go for network approved targets but are too worried about losing industry connections or advertisers to tackle real issues that affect everyone and call out the globalist power structure.
Furthermore, if they were really rebels, wouldn't they be on someplace like Rumble rather than Comedy Central- home of the DNC mouthpiece Trevor Noah?
If they support free speech so much, why didn't they stand up for Trump or Alex Jones?
In my opinion, the creators have become they very thing they used to stand against.
Because they're a PART of the thing they used to mock. South Park has become mainstream.
This isn't even a particularly modern phenomenon. It happened to the "rebellious" Reynard cycle in the Middle Ages. What started out as funny animal stories meant to mock the elites (even Reynard himself wasn't a peasant, but a low level noble with his own estate) eventually started to be told and recirculated by the elites themselves as the later Reynard/Reynardine stories. The difference? Whereas in the original stories Reynard would get away with his shenanigans more often than not (usually successfully blaming the bishop Isengrim and getting him hanged in his stead), Reynardine (son of Reynard) would often be brought to justice.
One can see the same shift in modern Looney Tunes vs the original theatrical shorts; they seem soulless to me, like they're following what they think is the old formula, but that's all they're doing. The originals were as good as they were because the animators had no oversight, and Jack Warner didn't give two fucks about cartoons as long as they made money.
What was once wild, gets tamed if the elites can't (or don't want to) kill it.
I think the problem is that they don't seem to rip into the other side as much as they could have.
They make fun of Trump supporters and rather tame targets like women's sports and skin color politics, but look at our world now.
Where are the Biden jokes? Why haven't they tackled the diary or laptop? That speech with the red background, calling half the country terrorists? The Bidens are a walking Jerry Springer episode and they haven't done anything with them, as far as I know.
What about the wide open border? Ukraine? Pfizer coercing governments and fudging lab data? The UN and WEF acting like literal supervillains?
90s-2012 South Park would have turned George Soros or Klaus Schwab into Emperor Palpatine.
It's interesting to me that they shy away from really tearing into globalists and institutions on video admitting that they want to kill people. I understand if you guys don't agree with me, but current South Park seems like controlled opposition.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised considering they're on the same network as that uniparty mouthpiece Trevor Noah.
When you see how much vitriol South Park issued toward Trump (even though Parker and Stone said they wouldn't do any Trump jokes) and compare it to how it ignored or softballed every other president in the show's lifetime (alongside everyone else you listed), you start to realize how it may have been controlled opposition, if not neocon propaganda from the start.
As for Kenny, the Mysterion stuff was a highlight of the show for me. The Coon episodes actually made him my favorite character.
It was rather disappointing to see that they never continued the Cthulhu plot he's part of.
Knowing what we know about Moloch and Satanism among the left, I think these topics would have made for an excellent continuation of the Coon Trilogy. Instead, we got a rather one note (in my opinion) commentary on disinformation as the tie-in episode for the Fractured But Whole game from 2017.
I still like previous episodes of the show from up to around 2014, but I stopped watching the new South Park episodes because they felt like little more than missed opportunity after missed opportunity for me.
True. I remember they said they weren’t doing Trump jokes since everyone was. I mean I don’t mind as long as you are mocking everyone. The Meghan Markle one was funny along with the trans woman who sounded like Macho Man
Of all things I didn't expect Drawn Together to be proved right about South Park
