that's why it's so awesome, makes the special snow flakes flip there poo poo.
People hate on SouthPark so much, if they don't like it or it upset's there little snowflake hearts so much why do they continue watching/tuning into the show when it's on...

They don't. They're sick of mental 8th graders tuning their political compass to what are essentially the momentary whims of its writers/creators and quoting/using those episodes as a basis for actual discourse. They're wide enough a fanbase to create an echo chamber of reinforcement and articulate people are more than willing to fluff up any thesis made by a comedy show as populist political science instead of the 22-minute political cartoon it is (but that won't stop them from going "it's just a cartoon " the instant someone has a cogent argument against it).

It's also a well-constructed show capable of forming an internal consistency within one of its own episodes, so it's hard to argue without getting into Serious Education Mode which (surprise surprise) most middlebrows on the internet aren't prepared to do at the drop of a hat and even fewer South Park fans are willing to listen to without a running gag of Cartman making GBS threads in Timmy's mouth or Current Events Analogy to buffer everything.

And incidentally it's as gently caress that the running gag this past season has been about the largely manufactured SJW/PC culture--a culture lamented by political moderates and conservatives so long that jokes about being "too PC" were old when I was a boy in 1993--and its fans are usually the first to get offended by pushback when someone else gets offended by a joke they made. "I'm so offended that people are offended and actually taking action against what I have to say. I have rights and deserve a safe space dammit."

gently caress anyone who uses South Park in any actual discourse. It's a cute show with good episodes, but so is the Golden Age of SImpsons episodes yet you don't see me using their ontology in "Bart Sells His Soul" as part of an argument for euthanasia.

You can dislike Caitlin Jenner and not be transphobic. South Park is historically transphiliac, since when Mr. Garrison became Ms. Garrison the episode was clearly in favor of his change. He was a hosed up weirdo, but that had nothing to do with being trans.

Yes, they were so in favor of it the moral episode was "transitioning won't actually change who you are, it'll just make you a mangled freak". My, how supportive.
