Cool. Hopefully they don't hold back this season. Randy's joining a cult, always gotta be Randy these days.

Always surprised me when people did that to be honest.

Those types of accusations really came out of the woodwork, after they said they refused to take down Trump". It was very misguided.

 

[Dangansona]

I've recently rewatched a lot of the seasons, and god damn was the last one really awful.

I have full faith in them, it was just a bump they hit. I'm sure they learned a lot from it.

The last one was pretty bad, which is a shame because the season that preceded it was top 5 imo.

I am really excited about kid focused one off stories, it is what I have been asking for for awhile. Looks like they couldn't help themselves this time though lol.

 

[His Majesty]

The gentrification season was amazing but I don't remember much from last season except for the member berries. It was pretty disappointing.

This will probably have a bigger impact socially than most politicians

 

[Kevinroc]

They already off base in how they're depicting these guys from that image alone.

I agree. There should be a lot of young dweeb looking 20-somethings.

Those are all previously-seen rednecks from South Park. Would make sense that they're the most white-supremacist types in town, but I get what you're trying to say.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

nazi protesters are bad but counter-protesters actually care about something and are not total nihilists so obviously they are the true lame losers

People accusing them of being right-wing are completely misguided.

they are pretty clearly libertarian which is a right-wing ideology in which several prominent people didn't have any qualms about throwing in with the alt-right

 

[Real Hero]

They're going to "both sides" the shit out of this aren't they?

how about no?

Nathan for You and South Park this month?!?

If you really think that's what they're going to portray you've got another thing coming.

No, they won't.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Libertarianism is more like a triangle arc off both the right and left. You see more of the former in the US though.

better tell those anarchists and communists

 

[Surface of Me]

Lot's of people inbthis thread clearly havent watched the past few seasons of South Park.

 

[buttery fistful]

Trey and Matt are still dumb as fuck about Global Warming. At the very least their message about it is.

Yea they really whiffed on that but I still laugh at ManBearPig

 

[PhantomThief]

One off stories were a way better format for SP. Cant wait to check this out

I havent seen the last few seasons though.

It's an incredible night and day difference to immediately spot.

Did you see the Master Chief cosplayer?

But Halo is dead among the youths!

To our eternal shame

I dont get the Master Chief part..? Must have missed something.

They spent half a season showing how gauche and soulless gentrification is, jokingly equate NCAA sports to slavery, and took the Catholic Church and Scientology to task for their various abuses and tax dodging, but libertarian is the label they get?

You don't need to be Steven Universe to be progressive.

Add in the part where Matt and Trey were specifically criticizing police departments that complain and act like they can't do their job when you tell them to stop shooting unarmed black people. There wasn't any way a person should get the statement wrong with the "Hula school".

 

[Averon]

Cool. Hopefully they don't hold back this season. Randy's joining a cult, always gotta be Randy these days.

It is especially misguided because Matt and Trey said that after just spending an entire season crapping on Mr. Garrison (aka Trump). It was also one of the weakest seasons so far, so I am not surprised they wanted to go in a different direction.

If an entire season shitting on Mr. Garrison and raping Canadian Trump can't clue you in on where Matt and Trey stand, then nothing will.

 

[DarkKyo]

It'll be a shame when they both sides the shit out of it.

What other important social issues have they portrayed both sides the same? What about all of the pro-gay marriage and gay acceptance episodes they've done? Do they portray homophobia with the same respect that they do with said acceptance? Cut the tired both sides critique because it doesn't apply to 75% of South Park. Outside of their confusing climate change messages/non-messages can you actually even cite any major social or political issues they've actually done the both sides thing or are you just throwing out cliche'd talking points because you're still mad they poked fun at PC culture for a couple seasons?

 

[Real Hero]

destroy the state

 

[CopperPuppy]

Last season was a dud, glad to see they're getting back to one-off episodes. The joke setup-to-payoff ratio was all out of whack last season, not to mention they were clearly caught off guard by Hillary's loss and generally had a difficult time finding clever ways to satirize an election that was already satirizing itself.

 

[Cagey]

The same people are still pushing the failed "South Park is problematic" narrative that hasn't caught on here despite a solid two years of effort.

Such an oddly specific windmill to tilt at.

Libertarianism is still on the left on race/gender/orientation/etc. tho. It's a fair assessment on where they've historically been in terms of a viewpoint- the issue is that it's not a pure "right wing" ideology at all and many people don't understand that part of it.

This is also part of why when they go after white liberalism/feminism (see: everything related to Whole Foods and performative displays of political views) many of those people don't understand that they're not mocking those things from a right-wing perspective, it's a self-critique.

Halo 2 is famous for being the Online Multiplayer game on console that exploded into an all out Trash Talking warzone.

Master Chief Represents online anonymity which include online trash talkers behind a GamerTag

You know whats easy? Making baseless accusation without even presenting any examples to back them up.

Oh I guess that makes some sense. Don't really feel like that's really been the case for a while now tho.

no more continuity/serialization shit please

The final episode last season, after Trump's win probably had a noticable effect on the health of the crew having to scramble to change the episode, was literally titled "The End of Serialization as We Know It"

 

[Dangansona]

Oh I guess that makes some sense. Don't really feel like that's really been the case for a while now tho.

I took it to be simpler than that. Gamers are often tied to the alt-right, here is an obvious way of showing a gamer is in attendance at this rally.

Edit:

I thought they backtracked that in imaginationland by making manbearpig real.

Ah finally South Park going back to what it does best. I didn't like the last 2 seasons as much as their episodes which just focused on topics rather than serializing

 

[Trojita]

You didn't get the joke that it was an imaginary thing?

 

[Puruzi]

So many people itt don't actually watch South Park

Can't wait to see how they both sides this one.

Them hot takes.

 

[Snaku]

They're going to "both sides" the shit out of this aren't they?

Yes, they're gigantic advocates of the both sides false equivalence.
