Here is the true message of this special since both the left and the right are too stupid to understand:

Pandering is a lazy form of storytelling, but sending hate to Disney doesn’t solve anything. If anything, it gives them a reason to do more pandering. Cartman is DEFINETLY NOT the voice of reason of this special. Stan and Kyle are. Their cordial speech on why pandering doesn’t work is Trey and Matt’s voice being heard. Stuff like Miles Morales is a great way of representation because it is innovative and a complete new spin on a classic character. Race swapping is just lazy.

I hate how the left wing only focus on the part where Cartman says “complaining about woke stuff is kinda lame” at the end, and use it as the basis of what they think the message of the special is, as if it is in favour of their side only. Disliking pandering isn’t a right wing viewpoint, and I hate how people think it is. They missed the point.

I also hate how the right wing think that Cartman IS the voice of reason, thinking that the whole episode supports the their side only and that sending hate to Disney is the right way to go about it. It is annoying to see conservatives act like the whole episode is for them. They have also missed the point.

    Same thing happened with the Barbie movie. The right wing ate it up as making fun of wokeness, yet they purposely refuse to ignore that woman’s monologue at the end, which goes against everything they believe in lmao. But even that movie was making fun of pandering, just a little more subtle than SP.

    Or take another example, gaming industry. Because of gamergate, there are now games that pander as well, but here’s also the thing, those are all optional character creation choices that you don’t have to do. Even the gay characters in Life is Strange are far better written than what Disney/Marvel puts out.

    They just insert these token LGBT, feminist, multi-racial characters so they can meet a quota and pretend they actually give a fuck about these groups, but at the end of the day, they only just want their money. Nothing more, nothing less. And that is one reason why SP made this episode. If corpos really gave a shit, then said corpos would also change their flag to the rainbow one even in middle eastern countries!
