South Park has always been Right Wing. Trey and Matt are self proclaimed "Libertarians". There's a significant overlap in the Venn Diagram of Joe Rogan bros and South Park fans. "They make fun of both sides bro" and yet some of their most enduring cultural contributions are downplaying climate change and dehumanizing trans people.
They may clutch their pearls about MAGA now, but their promotion of political apathy among Gen X and Millennial men is part of why we have MAGA.
I remember there was a brief moment in the early 00s where the term "South Park Republican" had some cultural cachet until everyone realized it was just edgy libertarianism for contrarian shitheads.
Aren't they former libertarians? I feel like I heard they realized they were idiots and changed, but I could be wrong.
Its possible. I recall reading somewhere that they regret the ManBearPig episode. Good on them for being able to change and grow.
Still, unfortunately the damage has been done.
i dont remember this one. when was this?
Maybe man bear pig and the hybrid car episodes.
Manbearpig was saying climate change doesnt exist and Al Gore is an idiot. That was the only message. There was no both sides to that episode.
12 years later they made an apology episode to say Gore was right all along.
oh i remember. literally just made the connection, the episodes even featured al gore as the alter ego or something.
