South Park updated their profile photo in response to Kristi Noem calling them "sexist" for criticizing her appearance. : Mirror

If Trey Parker and Matt Stone get arrested, then you know freedom of speech in the US is truly dead.

I give it a year or two, tops.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 42 points 3 weeks ago

Oh lol, they will just get cancelled. You know, the thing that conservatives have been projecting about the last several years.

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago

And they'll take that cancelation straight to the bank, because they just got renewed before the season kicked off.

My biggest problem with her appearance is when she appears to be shooting a fucking puppy.

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 28 points 3 weeks ago

If you stop the episode 2 seconds before the end, you can pretend that one dog got away.

You will get to a point in the near future when a Hispanic dog walker will be taken by ICE mid walk and they will leave people dogs loose on the side of the road. They won't care, people's dogs will be dead, and it will get more air time on the news stations than the Hispanic American citizen child with cancer that was removed from the country with no medication.

Your country is fucked.

[-] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago

? There's been dogs being forcibly abandoned already due to ICE deportations. Animals left in homes. What you're describing has already happened

That part where she talks about doing what has to be done is directly from her auto biography... where she talks about shooting her puppy and goat.

My memory is bad but I recall her kids getting home from school right after she shot the goat.

If they hadn't gotten home she was going to piss in the fish tank too.

Conservatism is an ideology that wants the in-group protected by the laws but not bound by them, and the out-group bound by laws but not protected by them.

Guess she forgot how much hate Michelle Obama got from the Rupublicunts over her looks. But I guess Noem doesn’t consider Michelle Obama to be a woman to begin with.

Notice how quick they are to pull the idpol bs out when they're the targets, I know it's been said before but I don't care, every accusation is an admission when it comes to the MAGA/GOP constituency.

[-] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 40 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

screeching "sexist"

ultraconservative power-mad woman supporting obviously sexist bigots in power.

Such duality.

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 37 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Two things:

This lady must not know what South Park is.

it’s so lazy, to make fun of women and how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that.

👁👄👁 wat?

It's like fucking wordsalad everytime a MAGA-person is talking. This genuinely feels like a bait comment.

Btw, you are the extremist, sweetie. I also remember how the MAGA crowd made a ton of weird claims against Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. Took out of context clips where she made weird faces and made conspiracies about her being a robot or a reptile or that she was having a stroke and was therefore unfit to lead the country. So many embarrassing and awkward pics and clips of her on the internet. Lots of comments about how it made sense why Bill cheated when he had to look at "that" everyday. But I guess it's okay when your side does it, right? Man, how childish and retarded politics have become. I miss when the grown ups were in charge.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

Do you remember "Michelle Obamamust be a man because she has wide shoulders"?

[-] Nangijala@feddit.dk 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Oh yes, I knew a lady who was convinced that Michelle was a man and shared pictures of her crotch area where the fabric was crinkling. Supposedly that was her bulge.

Same lady also fell for the holocaust denial after seeing a ww2 timeline with clearly edited dates on it. I forget the exact significance of the dates and how they "proved" the holocaust never happened but I stopped speaking with her after that shit.

I generally don't mind when people are a bit nutty or when they hold opinions I disagree with, but I have my limits, lol. Conspiracy theorists are were I often draw the line and very harshly. I don't like when people start bending reality and live in delusions.

[-] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

They still do 'Michelle is a man' stories as of today. The latest one I've seen is that Michelle Obama is trans, and was a man when they started dating.

Its insane the amount of straight fiction the conservatives come up with to try and tar anyone an inch to the left of them, when they've such an abundance of real conspiracies in their own ranks. Mental illness.

Oh no, they can and did do plenty of that

She didn't say anything about shooting the dogs because she probably doesn't realize its a parody and instead thinks of it as an accurate representation.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 35 points 3 weeks ago

Only the liberals and extremists do that, lol. Well, she's not wrong, their cult does in fact resort to such low-brow humor. Their cult leader/prophet engages in it regularly, in fact

[-] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 21 points 3 weeks ago

Once again demonstrating that every accusation is an admission when it's coming from them.

Also I like how she says they can't criticize her actual work despite ceaseless criticism for the past half year.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago

yeah they famously never criticize men for how they look

South Park does not often criticize people for how they look. They usually criticize people for how they made themselves look.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

The hardest they ever roasted someone's appearance was Sarah jessica Parker, and they went way harder on gnome.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 30 points 3 weeks ago

Mad they mocked her looks but not the her platform?

Her shooting a dog every scene?

Mmmmmkay

[-] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 weeks ago

They are not criticising women, they're criticising Kristi Noem.

[-] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 weeks ago

LOL, they are definitely not liberals.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

They've said before that, if you had to label them, the most accurate label would probably be libertarian. Which is pretty par for the course for the criticize/mock everyone and play on the shock and disgust of others for a laugh crowd, which was definitely true to a great degree in the early seasons (I say that with love for Trey and Matt).

Of course that was 20 years ago, and people change. But if I had to guess, I bet they would say that their politics have remained largely unchanged even as the show has transformed... well, transformed, a bit. I was going to say "matured" but that definitely seems wrong. We're still talking about small dick jokes and gory murder of animals which has a long proud tradition in South Park.

Anyway, any appearance to a leftward shift is largely just the rightward shift of American politics and those in power while they remain in place. No offense intended to them, but I can't imagine decades of success in media production, specifically by saying "fuck you" to everyone, has made them LESS libertarian. It's a trope for a reason.

[-] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, they've stayed where they were while everyone around them goosestepped to the right, and now accuse them of being leftists.

Can't wait for people to start calling them woke. 🤦‍♂️

Libertarians are liberals that want to make slavery legal again

[-] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 8 points 3 weeks ago

I thought it was paedophilia.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

the general stance of the statesian libertarian party is they want do meth, weed and fent, not pay taxes, tank the economy by going on the gold standard, fuck children, and own people (not realizing that they will be the people who will be fucked as children and owned, or more likely their children and grandchildren will be) but hey you can go to their conventions and be entertained by the lunacy

Slavery is already legal, and liberals are okay with it. Reread the 13th amendment. Name one liberal supreme court justice in history that would rule against the constitutionality of the 13th amendment's wording.

It may be very common these days that people alter their appearance through means of plastic surgery and what not. But it's perfectly fair to criticize this behavior. Of course South Park will grab any noticable feature and go over the top with it, so you shooting your puppy becomes you shooting puppies all the time, and you looking like a woman made of plastic becomes your face collapsing regularly.

[-] mathemachristian 6 points 3 weeks ago

Why is it ok to criticize "this behaviour"? How is plastic surgery anyones business but the one getting it??

You sure as shit dont have to hand it to matt stone and trey parker...

[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Maybe we're all too sensitive? Just spit balling here, maybe it's okay to criticize this aspect of Kristy Noam's behavior. It would not be okay to criticize someone who isn't a public figure like her for "this behavior" but she is a public figure and an extremist one.

Treating her the same as other people who get a lot of non-restorative plastic surgery isn't right because she isn't like them. She's a deeply racist public figure who's needlessly killed multiple animals who's also have obviously had a lot of cosmetic surgery. She doesn't represent everyone who's had plastic surgery.

Good. Her crazy amount of gender affirming care is not a woman issue. Pictured here is the puppy she brags about shooting. After she murdered this puppy she then shot her pet goat.
