        Ultimately the South Park moral comes down to change is bad. Let’s keep the status quo.

        And that’s what I find offensive. To be fair, The Simpsons does the same thing, as does Family Guy

        As does most society critical content that makes it to television.

            Then I may have been successfully trolled.

            Still, the status quo message is consistent through the whole series and is a frequent theme for Kyle’s speech at the end of an episode. It’s also a strong theme of Team America. I can’t speak their other Matt and Trey’s other works.

        I’m neurodivergent, and I laugh in many instances South Park made fun of neudivergent and mentally disabled people. I’m Latin American, South Park made fun of latin americans so many times. I’m progressive, South Park made fun of progressives so many times. I’m atheist, same thing. I’m bisexual, same thing, I could go on.

        The problem with the Mr Garrison episodes is that, they are so viscerally transphobic, it is very obviously made in such bad faith.

        Of course they are not the worse thing depicted in South Park, but yeah, a show with the objective to be as offensive as possible gotta hit somewhere in a very personal point eventually.
