Radical centrism is what helps reactionaries so I guess they sort of have a point.

This sounds like a garbage website so here is an archive link:

I don't know how anyone could ever watch something with such terrible animation.

Nostalgia for the 90s

South Park at least has an original style that originated from paper cutouts. The vast majority of aired anime is even worse.

Good.

Really shitty article.

...

It's ugly trash. Anyone who prefers the picture on the left, over the picture on the right, objectively has a diseased mind.

south park hasnt been good for about 7 years
however to blame edgelords on the aut right is dumb

Nice cherry-picking. Doesn't excuse the garbage that is most seasonal anime, however.

why isn't this a word filter yet?

It used to be filter to excellent didnt it?

Oh, you think it's cherry picking? Which one of these is more aesthetically pleasing? If you think it's the one on the left, you are human trash.

Even this awful webm is easier on the eyes than South Park.

( ( (Kyle Broflovski) ) )

Anyone who likes South Park, or even doesn't hate it, isn't a person worth associating with. They are scum, their soul is made of McDonalds hamburger wrappers.

The left one is the most original, it's iconic.
The right one looks like any other anime, just a few people would recognize it without the filename.
Show me another cartoon that looks like South Park.

I don't understand this bitching about the animation. Of course it is ugly as shit. The show was a low budget throwaway by Comedy Central that hit it big. Why would they change the style now?

literally no

youtube.com/watch?v=62UzLgdb1GQ

Take the stick outta your arse. South Park's fucking quality. You know you watch it too.

I bet you watch Family Guy too you mouthbreather.

But seriously I never even watched South Park and I knew just from what I heard about it that it was edgelord 'every position except no position is dumb' libertarian trash.

I never suggested they should change their style, I'm merely pointing out that anyone who willingly allows such images into their head, on a regular basis, is mentally diseased. If someone enjoys consuming ugly things, they are an ugly person.

To be fair Family Guy started to bore me already at 17. American Dad's way funnier.

Monkey Dust had zero budget too and some of the art styles contained within it are ugly as sin but at least they're visually interesting, and more importantly it's about a thousand times funnier and more subversive.

You're just being an obnoxious faggot.

you are not my comrade

I never argued it was the best low budget show or even that it was good. I don't understand what you're trying to say other than that you really hate some shitty cartoon from the 90s.

I don't care enough about the show to hate it but I hate libertarian shitbags like the contrarians behind it.

okay

Yeah when your 15 and you've never watched adult entertainment before sure.

This may come as a surprise to you, but no, not everyone eats shit like you do. We don't all eat at McDonalds and fill our minds with ugly garbage. Ever second you spend watching South Park is a second that could be spent watching a Tarkovsky film, listening to a wonderful piece of music, looking at a painting, going for a hike through the woods. You choose to fill your life with cheap, ugly, useless, trash, I choose not to.

Indeed. Only people who eat only the finest food, drink only the finest liquor, and watch only the finest hand drawn Japanimation should be allowed in society.

You give black people a bad name.

this post is property of the adorno gang

This post show exactly why the left will never have the population support again, the "intellectual" left despise everything that is "popular garbage" like South Park or MacDonalds.
Proles don't fucking watch Tarkovsky film, listening to a wonderful piece of music, looking at a painting, going for a hike through the woods. That's even sounds more like a bourgeois bohemian lifestyle.

Haha I remember a few months back the creators were trying to distance themselves from the alt right. Forgot what they said exactly but it was something like we're not racists, we don't support neoliberalism because we're racist.
But yeah, South Park oozes Fascism. Their "ironic" distain for handicapped people, minorities, women, and liberals that call out bigotry, notice they don't ridicule liberals for being capitalists.

The show that turned me off of it for good was the episode where the fat boy sucks the blonde boys dick while he's asleep and takes a picture of it.
If that's not crypto ancap pedophilia I don't know what is.

If the proles eat McDonalds or watch South Park, they don't deserve to live.

I haven't watched it in about ten years, but at least back then it was funny at times. If it was somebody's favorite show I would be disappointed with them, but it's hardly bad enough that every decent person has to hate it.

Don't be a poseur.

Also, I forgot to say, OP is almost certainly a troll.

You know something Kyle? I learned something new today. Yes the situation is terrible, but attempts to fix it may backfire, and we will be inconvenienced anyway. It's better to leave things as they are.

...

OP is such an obvious Holla Forums falseflagger, he sticks out like a sore thumb. The anfem flag says enough. Why is this thread still here?

They did mock whole foods as well as gentrification and how liberals are basically sellouts that jump on anything that makes them look superior while actually fucking things up in season 19…. And as I can see people are not going to like me for saying this, but season 19 was surprisingly Zizekian even if it was not intended to….

I've watched all Tarkovsky films multiple times…and all South Park episodes. I like watching South Park because it provides me information from USA. I used to think they were just exagerating things, but i discovered that the things they talk about in reality are exactly like in the show. Absolutely hilarious.

Anyway…you are a pretentious fuck. Even Tarkovsky said "The Terminator" wasn't a bad film by Hollywood standards ;)

You are autistic

You're a condescending, pseudo-intellectual piece of shit who injures everything you're a part of in your quest to look cooler than other people.

why cant you just read the news

They ever mock landlords? Or employers, or banks. I've only seen them attack the handful of true egalitarian things the state and SJWs do do because it appeals to their Neo Nazi sympathizer audience. Their episode about hate crimes was particularly bad, it might as well have gen written by pol.
I've always hated this show for this reason, and no it's not because of the violence and sexual content. You want violence watch "Threads" They're doing damage control now because they see the tide turning on them. Their tears will be delicious.

shhhhhh


let people enjoy things

It's a comedy show, there to make money as the creators throw in half-baked opinions on the side so they can feel like they're making art.
Without the ratings it gets pulled, it's no labor of love.
Just to be clear, I despise Afroplasm, so I'm not defending him.

why are you mad at someone for using a normal word that alt-right nerds happen to be sensitive about?

>shitty show made by libertarians who totally hate both sides equally actually ended up helping Holla Forumstards
What a shock.

Yeah remember that smoking episode that basically sucked the tabacco industry's dick? It's clear that like most libertards they are fascists at heart.

This kek

Wow they really stuck their neck out on that one. Long after the dangers of smoking were firmly entrenched in the public psyche through the blood sweat and tears of activists and lawyers.

You're a fucking idiot. And The Terminator isn't disgusting to look at, suggesting that Tarkovsky would like South Park because he liked The Terminator, is beyond absurd, you intellectually dishonest fuck.

Kill yourself.

It was a pro-smoking episode, just like they did a pro-meat eating episode, and a pro every product of capitalism that is actually harmful to society. South Park is propaganda propping up a sick society, anyone who can't see that is sick themselves.

Damn that's even worse, how did they rationalize smoking?

who cares

The economic conditions helped empower the alt-right, not some fucking cartoon. Miss me with this anti-Marxist shit.

What about when anime uses South Park style?
also

Becuz only le anti-freedumb fags don't want you to smoke!

They're libertarian scum, what do you expect? Libertarians are objectively worse than Nazis.

That doesn't excuse it. You realize that the existence of South Park makes the people who watch it dumber, correct? It's a net negative for society.

It wasn't pro-smoking. It was against people trying to make other people stop smoking. The villain of the episode was Rob Reiner who went around harassing working class people telling them that they shouldn't smoke.

One of the background characters in that episode said that second hand smoke was a myth.
The point where I gave up on the show was the global warming denialism. That stupid manbearpig episode was supposed to be a metaphor for how Al Gore was fighting an imaginary problem and they also did a stupid day after tomorrow parody where the whole joke was "ha look at these people freaking out when nothing is really happening."
Considering how many south park fans grew up into internet skeptics its amazing how often Matt and Trey deny science outright

Dude I used to watch South Park and I became a distinguished intellectual

Most people didn't see it that way. It was a caricature of Al Gore and an attack against him as a person and not some anti climate science thing. And Day After Tomorrow? Nobody gives a shit about that turd. It was rightfully parodied.

Now I know your lying, they've done entire episodes lampooning big banks m.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ5NWSqKzoo

You really didn't, though.

They've gotten pretty "soft" over the years. Just look at what they did with PC principal.

PC principal is garbage. I doubt anybody here will defend it. Personally I haven't watched any South Park in a couple years but there was a time when I liked it. I liked the video game for the memories and am looking forward to the sequel.

Good somewhat lefty analysis of South park season 19. youtu.be/MG7y8J0DXhU

Yes, but at the same time they mocked the whole Trump campaign and reactionaries with Mr. Garrison and the "memberberries". They've even defended transgenders while also making fun of Jenner. Their shtick has always been making fun of everyone. Anyway, arguing X media created X movement is stupid anyways and wholly unmarxist. Wanting your media to be santized is stupid as well.

Yes but the punchline for the parody was that global warming doesn't exist.

Making fun of PC culture isn't an inherently reactionary thing either though I admit the arc was weak

Didn't think that some shitty libertarian cartoon was enough to turn Holla Forums into a bunch of rabid, dogmatic liberals

Why the flying fuck do you guys care this much about some cartoon

There have been plently of low-quality art anime and adult swim shows in the past that have carried themselves on content or their humor.

This is actually idpol

No it was about how Al Gore is a charlatan, which he is. And Manbearpig turned out to be real.
No, the joke was how stupid disaster movies are. It was a direct spoof of The Day After Tomorrow that made fun of the more ridiculous parts of the film, like the heroes outrunning the cold.

I know, right?


The fuck? He's mocking you for your dumb attachment to a fucking cartoon and your response is MUH IDPOL. Pathetic. Read this and shut the fuck up.

only in the imaginationland episodes, where the point was that it wasn't real

Except that imaginary things are real, which is the point of that TV movie. IIRC they even said in a commentary that they brought manbearpig back because they were doubtful of climate change before but had come around on it.

huh, guess i was wrong. Link to where they said that?

My problem wasn't the cartoon itself or that he was mocking it, you can state whatever opinion you want on whatever shitty show you want, but the fact that if someone likes or enjoys X media or comedy that now they are liberals because what they like doesn't aline with what another person might like without knowing why they like it.

People can like whatever the fuck they want. I just dont have to agree with their preferences. I just find it funny that this board hates libertarians so much. Anyway South Park is overrated satire mixed with toilet humor

South Park is spot on in some of its critiques of liberalism, its from the wrong angle, but its not wrong.

I think it was in the commentary for the Imagination Land episode where manbearpig shows up.

...

Sorry, that was really poorly written. What I'm trying to say is that claiming a person is a liberal because of what media they happen to enjoy is stupid. You don't know why they like it, and just because they enjoy something you happen to not doesn't make them opoosed to what economics or principles you hold. You can't know for sure why they like it and the only way to know is to ask them. You can always state your own opinion of show though, thats a given.

That wasn't the source for mockery. What IS the source for mockery is the belief that a cartoon can change the political landscape of America, which several users of this board apparently believe is possible. Incidentally, believing that a cartoon could do this is liberal as fuck.

Wait, so I think we've been in agreement this whole time. I responded to the user in question because I thought he was saying anyone who liked or defended the show in the thread was liberals and I diagreed. Sorry for the confusion.

This so much. Holla Forums is filled with culture war retards. Even the people that have been reading theory are failing to understand it.

Of course he does, he's statistically got an Autism Level of around 85.

What was their criticism of the banks? Did it have anything to do with interest itself being exploitative. Also there's like 1000 episodes by now, I've probably watched 100 of the. Over the years and every single one was either pro capitalist or crypto white idpol. i did like the anime episode though

Oh man, are we really at the point when young progressive people are mad at South Park? Things went full circle. We've become our parents.

Watch the link here

It's a pretty good examination for a pop-philosophy channel. While the show isn't anti-capitalist it does clearly have issues with many aspects of the current capitalist order.

I think this is just a thread with kids LARPing as being enlightened adults with fine tastes.

I stopped liking South Park right around when I graduated high school and realized they were contrarian libertarians. They were only a standard bearer for reactionary white guys, which is why they are trying to do damage control on their association to the American Neo Nazi movement

Still not as bad as Holla Forums's take on TFA.

at the very least people on the left are getting mad at south park for its politics rather than its toilet humor or swear words

I'll give it a look, but I don't buy into the whole irony thing, they say the fat boy character cartman, finally remembered is a tragic figure but it's clear they make him the most interesting and the star of the show, which is an implicit endorsement of his reactionary racist beliefs, which is why the show so strongly appeals to neo Nazis, ill never believe they weren't aware of this. They were doing damage control way back in November when trump was elected.

That'd be somewhat better if they weren't completely misinterpreting the politics of the show.

They need to have at least some interracial porn in there it seems

That image is atrocious. It really shows how stupid Holla Forums are if they didn't think the worst thing about TFA was Lens Flare's appalling shoehorning in of a Riefenstahl shot.

Google "Alf Garnett" you stupid faggot

This. 50 years from now, shows like South Park will be shown to kids to display the capitalist decadence and squander of our era.

This

Yeah sorry Cartman isn't analogous to Archie Bunker in "All in the Family". Cartmans behavior is endorsed and the Nazis and other reactionaries are getting the message loud and clear. Which is why they flock to it.

Matt and Trey wanted to make Cartman into a modern Archie Bunker just to see if they could get away with it.
Lots of racist middle class white guys who watched All in the Family sympathized with Archie Bunker too. Satire is hard to pull off.

I don't believe it, what they want pied to do is make it APPEAR Cartman is a tragic and ironic figure. His commupance, when there is one, is usually quick almost like an after thought most times, and liberals and other figures of ire of the shows politics will suffer burtually while the show revels in their pain.

I think Archie Bunker was excellent to, but him and Cartman are like night and day.

I don't think the KKK or Neo Nazis loved All in the Family, they knew Archie Bunker's character was a dig at their bigotry.

The show doesn't exist in a vacuum either. When the show first started carmans virulent racist, anti Semitism and sexism couldn't be found anywhere in tv, ironic or otherwise.

...

Meant for

Copypasta from some fucker

Matt Stone and Trey Parker have done more to make our generation crueler than nearly anyone else, because they can get away with it under the guise of “this is satire, duh”, not realizing that poorly-done satire only reinforces the cultural forces it is meant to mock. When 13 year-old-kids are watching South Park, they aren’t tuning in to the little infinitesimally small lessons supposedly being taught, they’re laughing at Timmy being severely disabled, they’re laughing at sexual harassment, they’re laughing at child abuse, they’re laughing at anti-semitism, they’re laughing at people who have had sex reassignment surgery.

And the “satire” is so often pathetically weak. There isn’t a single nativist in this entire country who can’t laugh at a “der takin er jerbs” joke, because those jokes don’t actually rebut or mock the arguments made by people opposed to immigration. It’s just saying a common political phrase in a funny voice. Is that how low the bar for “satire” has been set? There’s occasionally more effective satire on the show, but not nearly enough for it to be defended on the basis of its value as satire.

But if you try to explain any of this to die-hard South Park fans, they’ll completely blow it off. They think that the fact the show upsets me simply means that the show has accomplished its purpose, never actually questioning whether or not that purpose is a worthy one. That’s why the show is so insidious: it wraps itself in this cynical layer of self-containment that prevents it from ever being pointed out for what it is: a detriment to the type of society that any decent person wants to see. South Park is far more dangerous than the Westboro Baptist Church, because South Park is something that people accept and defend.

Remember when there were shows like this with actual effort put into them? Syke, I'll admit the justification for South Park is that they have extremely rapid production turnaround for animation, so their parody of recent events is fresh.

This

This is ironic meming from some Holla Forums jackass. Nobody would seriously believe that the ball droid is intended to be a white male self insert.

That's because they're fucking idiots. The show creates and attracts idiots, as simple as that.

You mean this generation committed genocide on the Native Americans? This generation established slavery? Do you know how ridiculous this sounds?
South Park is just ideology produced by capitalists to justify the current state of things. The current relations under capital produced this show, not the other way around.

Learn how to read, retard. He said they did more to make "this" generation worse than anyone else. He didn't say this generation is worse than previous generations. You're an idiot.

Also, stop with the "muh natives" bullshit. The removal of cultures that are unwilling to adapt is necessary in order for us to finally get to an actual communist society. Just like we'll need to get rid of all the idiot white people currently in America, and like we'll have to get rid of the Africans who are unwilling to change their countries into quality states.

The fuck is anyone else, then?


You could start by killing yourself, Holla Forums.
