Just like it's 2017 and people who hate WoW are still trolling fan sites bitching about it. Humans will be human.It's 2017 and people are still consuming South Park content just to be outraged by it.

This trailer was much funnier than both episodes in the new season combined.
I get what youre trying to say, but you cant seriously think the people behind South Park didnt notice that. They absolutely knew what they were doing and thats the joke. Racism is funny.
The issue with this is none of those things, it's the way MomFish passively evokes blackface imagery without saying something about it. If you're going to invoke that imagery, you need to do it with deliberate purpose to say something about it.
I think that is the point. I could be wrong, but I think if Matt and Trey wanted to say something about blackface imagery or include it in a joke, they would have done it in a completely different context. It would have been overt, and probably used unambiguously authentic imagery. They have never shied away from social changed imagery before (ie the Cartoon Wars episodes). Maybe they don't care enough to scrutinize things carefully enough. Maybe that's irresponsible, but I don't think that makes it (or them) racist.
I dont think mad men is a fair comparison. That show was depicting the 60s.
Exactly, which is why it was successful. It used blackface critically, as a tool to demonstrate how horrible it is. I was curious about other instances where this was the case. It's obviously not an oft-used technique these days, and when it is, it's almost always used in a racist manner.Moreso than that, it was depicting that the use of Black Face is pretty much a Bad Thing.

I suppose I'm just interested in moments of taboo being repurposed as critiques of said taboo. It's a fine line, because I'm sure even something like the Mad Men scene still offended some people.
Yeah that shit was horrendous, completely irredeemable.The last I remember a sincere, non-ironic black face invocation was Transformers 2 with the two "gangsta" robots who couldn't read. Not typical minstrel stuff in terms of dialogue, but the general idea of "lol black people lol" was there pretty unabashedly.
I'm a black guy, ok. I didn't even think of it like that until coming to this thread. This is what South Park is. It's been in existence for decades now. How are people not in on the jokes now?
Last transfotmers arguably tops that with a freed from prison gangster deception sign long free at last in a mocking tone of mlk.The last I remember a sincere, non-ironic black face invocation was Transformers 2 with the two "gangsta" robots who couldn't read.

There pretty much always a context and clear reasoning behind the use of offensive imagery and situations on the show. In the first season, Cartman dresses up like Hitler and then a KKK member for Halloween. It makes sense because he's a racist character. The mammy fish doesn't have any discernible reason to be depicted in blackface.

Man, I really liked Stick and am hoping this game is good but every reveal is some corny shit
Seems like different writers
Paris Hilton?
How is something like this, as in an artist making something dedicated to their mother, even remotely ok to make fun of with black face and homophobic "jokes"....what the actual fuck. What's supposed to be the punchline here?

They're busy with Pillars of Eternity II.I wonder why Obsidian isn't working on this one. I never played Stick of Truth but I heard that Obsidian did a great job with it.
They put it in the trailer... They are literally expecting this.Why do people keep putting the objections down to a lack of understanding? I understand perfectly that the mammy fish is a racist caricature. I'm not okay with it. This isn't about what "South Park is" whatever that means. This is about the decision they made to include this particular depiction in their game.
How the hell are people still getting offended by South Park in 2017.
Its like I have been transported back twenty years.
Racism is racism, whenever it takes place

Racism really?
Its fucking South Park. They practically invented modern politically incorrect humour.
I edited your quote because that's what it reads like after 8 pages of this terrible 'it's just South Park, bro' deflection of the issue.
Don't forget the over the top Jews and rednecks as well.It's not new though...
It IS just South Park... not that that absolves it of its choice of comedy or criticism.

The only hand Obsidian had in TSoT was to tell Matt and Trey that they had way too mich script for one game. They even joked about having DLC already written or a sequel or something alomg thise lines. But this goes totally along with the show. Sometimes it's good other tines it's not. Some aspects people finde funny and others not. I have now doubt it will be just as funny and relevant as TSoT was.Trey and Matt are still writing but I do wonder how much influence Obsidian had on the writing of SOT. Everything they've shown of this game has looked like trash to me.
I do agree that we may not have seen the payoff yet. I also sent the clip to all the black guys I work with. 1 out of the 10 had a priblem with it and the other 9 gave him shit for getting upset over it. Take it for what it is, the one who hated it is 23, the others are between 45-60.

Cannot wait. Easily my most anticipated 2017 release (sorry Mario).
Also, I love South Park threads.
We still quote that one here. South Park is always hit or miss, but when they hit, they hit hard.Deh took our jobs! That episode where the people come the future was pretty funny.
Lol, that was too much.Back to the pile, everyone!
It was great, my favorite in a whileWe still quote that one here. South Park is always hit or miss, but when they hit, they hit hard.
What's the punchline of this trailer? What's the commentary being made or purpose. Humor /satire/parody needs to have a point. South Park 's creators specifically should know that considering they had a multi episode rant about how humor needs a point via blasting family guy's sketch based humor.Racism really?
