Have whatever opinion you want about the shows, but it’s disingenuous to say “only attacking the underprivileged with any real heat”. The poor and underprivileged Scientology, Catholic Church, Christianity as a whole, Kanye West, Donald Trump, etc. I think it’s fair to say those topics got raked across the coals. Sure, maybe if you count everything up, it’s lopsided, but South Park 100% has torn into topics other than underprivileged people. They literally are in the middle of a storyline where Trump is the new Saddam Hussein.
The f slur was 100% used like that in the 90s. I’m not saying that no one used it in a bigoted way though. In my school growing up, there was a lot of that word and if you thought something was dumb, you said it was gay. It wasn’t until way later that kids, likely as adults, reflected on how messed up that was and what the words might mean to others. So maybe it’s really regional, but I understood where that episode was coming from because I 100% used that word in school in the 90s and there was not a single time that I was ever using it with hate. And it was wrong, but we were ignorant kids. The dolphin thing, well I got nothing for that. I thought the n word persecution thing though was meant to be making fun of people that actually felt that way. That those people were the joke. But maybe I’m off as that’s just my interpretation.
