The reactions by SJW's are amusing. Most of them are actually praising the episode. Even magazines like Slate, one of the biggest SJW rags out there. They're basically saying, "yeah, aren't those super-PC types awful? Good thing we're not like that." Even though that's exactly what they're like. Reminds me of feminists trying to pass the buck to "radical feminists."

I thought the first half of the episode was spot on. But they seemed to have lost their nerve in the second half. They didn't even mention the "F" word once even though feminist academics are the ones who created this cultural revolution. They could have really skewered the "white male privilege" thing by eg showing a white male homeless man.

Overall though the episode is a plus.

lost their nerve in the second half

I'm still on the fence. I dunno if you're a regular South Park watcher, but when ERIC CARTMAN is espousing the moral, something is fucked up. If there's one thing I know about South Park, it's that Eric Cartman is always a bad person. Always. Last season, all of their episodes had continuity, and we have every reason to expect that the same will happen this season ("Looks like PC Principal is here to stay"). I don't think they're anywhere near finished with poking this beehive. Time will tell, and I'm excited.

I hope you're right.

2nd'd!

The episode left me wanting.

[–]ofekme 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

same i think what he will do to him will make what he did for scott look like child's play.

[–]dontpet 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link

Didn't watch it but yeah, sounds like a good start. Have they ever taken on the mra movement? We will know that we really made it then.

[–]HotZone_ 5 points6 points7 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I'm sure they will eventually, and it won't be flattering.

[–]a-brown-bear 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

can't pretend there aren't any bat shit insane whackadoos under the MRA label.

though, maybe all attention is good attention.

[–]azazelcrowley 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I dunno. I think they're likely to have both a moderate feminist and a moderate MRA, and then some complete fucking psychos actually running both movements. Maybe split the kids along gender lines for advocacy and have Kyle or Stan do his shpiel about how both genders problems need to be taken seriously and such.

Cartman will obviously be red pill and lift a few weights, still be a fat fuck, and convinced he's buff or whatever.

It could turn out pretty funny.

[–]LordAnon5703 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I don't think the mrm is big enough. There's nothing to take on. It'd be kinda like poking at the little kid in class, whereas this episode is fucking with the Jocks.

[–]dontpet 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Let's aspire to being important enough one day.

[–]LordAnon5703 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

To be honest, I thought we were on /r/videos and that someone had pulled the "Feminism? Why not make fun of mra?" Line. I do agree that if the mra is ever parodied on south park, it would mean we made it.

[–]YouYongku 3 points4 points5 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This is PC Principal reporting!

[–]TDCRedPill 14 points15 points16 points 10 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

That decision was pure brilliance.

Here' the take from the article linked in the top: Amusingly, PC Principal and his gang of accomplices are portrayed as a hybrid of social justice warrior and college frat jock. At one point, the parents of South Park’s kids go to a college bar where they are accosted by “PC bros” who threaten to “throw down” at the slightest suggestion that Jenner isn’t a “stunning beautiful woman.”

But I think there are a few more good reasons.

-Based on the mindset of the populace, such violence, anger, posturing, childish behavior can only come from men. Put women in their place, and SouthPark will be interpreted as just bashing on women by showing unreal women do unreal things. Impact drops to nil, 'they just hate women' bullshit, and everyone loses.

-The violence on Cartman in the bathroom would not have had any impact. In the episode, he goes through one seriously disturbing beating. Switch in a rainbow lesbian and the effect flips entirely. Empathy for Cartman drops because he's male, respect for the abuser goes up because she's female. A girl beating down Cartman in the name of progressive values against one of the biggest examples of all of the evils that a spoiled white male can be? That'd be giving them a hero, not exposing hypocrisy, censorship, etc.

Shame they already had Kyle's bris. A circumcision episode would be great. But I do not hold out hope of a feminism episode, nor of a positive MHRM episode.

[–]HotZone_ 4 points5 points6 points 10 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree with your analysis. The fratbroys/social justice warriors was a clever subversion.

Shame they already had Kyle's bris. A circumcision episode would be great. But I do not hold out hope of a feminism episode, nor of a positive MHRM episode.

I'm pretty sure they did a circumcision episode about Kyle's little brother. Can't remember what stance they took.

They also poked fun at feminists in an early episode when Mr. Garrison described them as "women with sand in their vaginas." But that was before feminism achieved its current mega-power status.

I find South Park hilarious but its makers aren't nearly as ballsy as many seem to think. Attacking Muslims and suicide bombers, mocking PETA, praising the corpotocracy ("big corporations are good"!), taking the piss out of shallow hypocritical celebs, condemning Mel Gibson for anti-semitism, condemning the Catholic church for the pedophile scandal, embracing the Iraq war when it had 70% public support, mocking skeptics of 9/11 -- none of these stances requires going against popular opinion. They actually tend to side with power most of the time.

Nevertheless I hope other commentators are right and they really do justice to the SJW's in the coming episodes.

That's exactly what happened in Breast Cancer Show Ever, when Wendy beat up Cartman for making fun of breast cancer. Ugly as the scene was, it felt immensely satisfying. Of course they spent most of the episode showing Cartman as a coward trying to avoid the fight while trying to save his own face.

[–]Jaykaykaykay 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yeah, show certain female behaviors done by male character and then people are able to appreciate much easier how horrible and irrational it is.

[–]Lethn 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I found that pretty baffling as well though, I really hope they don't take the politically 'safe' option next time.

[–]Hesitant_Observer 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Because the problem is coming out of the colleges. seems like an accurate representation.

[–]CzechoslovakianJesus 2 points3 points4 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I guess it hit a bit too close to home for them.

[–]Lethn 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I was pleasantly surprised by this episode, as others have already said, I don't think they're anywhere near done, they were probably dealing with certain poliical types/categories like they usually do and on the next episode hopefully they'll move onto feminists.

[–]_Eggs_ 1 point2 points3 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I didn't watch this episode yet, and now I have something to look forward to when I get home.

[–]AtomicBLB 0 points1 point2 points 10 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

My favorite scene was Stan talking to his dad after he did those things to Kyle. Randy hungover barely getting the words out trying to explain privilege and how he had to check Kyles. Then I felt kinda sad because it was funny because it's so absurd... yet in real life there are many people who cling to those words as being true.
