Fuck politics. All politicians are soul sucking pieces of shit who only care about themselves. Fuck em all.
Probably that they’ll try to eventually censor it, knowing them
Nothing. It’s a cartoon.
An analysis of comedy/satire and political commentary. How new.
The only reason this is news is because every other large corporation, law firm, and university that has gone up against Trump has rolled over and complied to his insane demands.
South Park stands alone because of others complying.
South Park hasn’t „pushed a boundary“ in at least a decade. They are endlessly repeating jokes that have been on mainstream talk shows for years. What boundary are they pushing?
Nothing. All South Park does is quell the unsettled masses with perceived sense that it’s doing something negative to trump’s administration
The fact that those two are still not only capable of pushing boundaries but are making news about it after 20 years is wildly impressive.
A good outlet. Good for our mental health. Keep on making fun of this corruption.
???? Are we recycling 25 year old news content? Do people know what South Park has been doing since…. It’s whole life?!?
Satire has an important place in society by normalizing skepticism and suspicion of those in power, and knocking society’s idols off of their pedestals.
In the 90s, I lamented the slow demise of Mad Magazine’s relevance and wondered where younger generations would find satire. Then South Park debuted.
South Park makes fun of anyone and everyone.
This is so silly to me because they’ve been doing the same shit they always do for like 30 years but now it’s a big deal.
It means that cartoonists have bigger balls than most politicians in Congress.
Same thing comedy has ALWAYS meant for politics. Comedy always follows culture, not power.
Credit for what they’re doing now but not forgetting that they were a big part of how we got here. This idea that selflessness is inherently performative that they pushed for a very long time has an effect on the discourse.
I think, given it’s popularity (and fans of differing political beliefs too) it’ll wind up being a huge picking point for the American government to censor and it’s going to trigger insane back lash. We’ve been screwed by covid, cost of living crisis, we have few things that make us happy, we’re all isolated and confused/upset/numb/dismayed by the current global climate that if our show is jeopardised, especially one we can generally rely on for hard hitting, progressive, provocative social commentary, there’s gonna be a huge domino effect to chaos. Fucking with Colbert is different than the political sphere messing with South Park.
Nothing. They don’t have any power politically. They’ve been shitting on Trump, Bush, and whomever else for decades. Hasn’t stopped America from embracing fascism.
They’ll never make fun of democrats, that one for certain.
Nothing. Nothing means anything anymore.
Nothing. This is exactly like Alec Baldwin’s SNL impersonation. Also they don’t really push boundaries they’re just vulgarly centrist
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
