Are you LGBTQ+ and do you like South Park?

Or is SP homophobic as hell and does it deserve to be hated?

I'm not sure what to think anymore...

I loved the episode where it made fun of the ridiculous situation of biological men competing in women's sports! That was hilarious. When the transwoman, who looks like Macho Man Randy Savage, dominated all the women with vaginas and everybody was scared to mention the obvious - that the best women's athlete has a penis because they might be called "transphobic". If you haven't seen it - go do so, it was laugh out loud funny.

Really?

It's a show, it makes edgy jokes. Homophobia is isn't as common as people think, and an LGBTQ joke doesn't equal homophobia.

South Park talks shit about everything, the show is everythingphobic.

... okay, buy any of you not straight people?

I am a huge supporter of LGBTQ+ people even though I myself am not . I am damn straight.

And I actually like South Park . It’s other peoples’ problems that they take over-exaggerated jokes and representation as an accurate one .

No to both parts of the question in the title.

Not being part of the LGBTQ+ group because you’re straight doesn’t have any bearing on judging South Park. I can’t fathom how one could think SP is homophobic given the conscientious and satirical takes on these issues: the Big Gay Al episode which taught not to stereotype, the biker episode which saw the word ‘fag’ have nothing to do with being gay and even had a scene where a baby picks a biker as a ‘fag’ over an extremely camp and stereotypical gay man.

Now we have transgenders in sports being tacked and it to be honest it was handled well but I think they still held back on what needed to be conveyed. It looks like Heather is going to be a recurring character though based on the end of the episode.

Transgenders in their non-biological sport is just plain stupid and unfair, boiling down the difference between men and women in testosterone levels and ignoring bone density, muscle mass and size etc come on man, look at what Zuby did to point out how ridiculous it is.

Personally, I don't think they are homophobic.

However in the later season (past 8 years), they have lost their touch on what it was before.

It is garbage now.

South Park is great.

Anything can be funny as long as you don’t make it personal.

And everyone is targeted by them.

South Park has made fun of everyone under the sun. A couple of gay jokes doesn't make it a homophobic show.

The transgenders-in-sports episodes needed to be done.

I mean unlike Family Guy, it doesn't take jokes on a personal level and the jokes are actually hilarious and they target everyone.

So no, i don't think it's homophobic.

I think I may be bi.. not sure tho.

Anyway, I don't really like SP too much, though not because it's "homophobic" or anything, more just cause I plainly don't find it too funny. I'm not a fan of the animation and I find the characters all kind of annoying. I respect the show for being edgy and controversial as hell, but I don't personally like it.

No and yes.

@byondeon: @god_spawn: @king-ragnar: @im_late: @akshsarpanch: It's not I don't appreciate the interest, but are any of you gay, bi or other?

Straight

@waezi2: I could get along really well with some guys, if you know what I mean. Not into long-term relationships though.

Just to be clear though, I was glad to see those episodes because I used to be a part of my local running club (10 km runs on a competitive level and occasional half-marathon) and I worked out quite a lot. I fully understand the dedication, effort and willpower one needs to put to become a professional athlete. Majority of transgender people have huge unfair advantage and crush dreams of females who put so much effort into the sport. Sure, if you change your gender early enough and proper procedures are undertaken, there is no reason why shouldn't be able to compete. That is not the case in most of those situations.

^^^^

I know this has little to do with the topic but Futurama also did an episode (season 4 episode 13) where bender pretended to be a woman and has participated to a woman competition.

I’m BI

I think at its best it’s a funny show, but some episodes are FAR better than others

+1

You really think you'd get nuanced opinions on LGBTQ+ issues from comic vine, because that's fucking hilarious. The majority of the people here probably fit the profile of school shooters.

I'm Bi and just find it ok for cartoon

this LGBTQ shit gets to much attention.

Meanwhile the humans who actualy need help on this planet get shit on.

be proud of this society you live in.

No, but I'm a big fan of being pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, Mat and Trey just do stuff they think is a good idea instead of listing to their viewers, which is often a good thing. but it also mean they make some experiments that just plainly suck.

Futurama is a good in-between.

No one says they aren't women. It's just whether or not they have an... well, an advantage.

And naturally, it is not that simple. Men aren't "stronger", men and women are just different. As far as I understand, men are TECHNICALLY "stronger" but women has more stamina, meaning they can do something hard longer time than men. Not that there aren't exceptions that proves the rules.

The good thing about the South Park episode with the trans woman athlete is that no one doubts that she is a woman. They just think she is a bad sport.

No to both, not sure why I'm here, to be honest.

Be careful, or you'll upset the PC Babies.

Love South Park, gotta brother that's gay and love him too.
