Ya, I enjoyed his interactions with Jimmy and then Jimmy not backing down and just flipping him off while delivering his "PC" headlined paper. (whatever the actual quotes are, I don't remember) - [Jimmy's School Paper Headline]: "PC stands for Pussy Crusher" - Dude-bro: Ya we gotta do something bro [...] and then go home and Crush some Pussy! - PC Principle "[exasperated] Nooo! You guys.." Of course, I just love Jimmy, awesome addition to the show, he's had some great episodes. "CRIPPLE FIGHT!" and it's the entire fight from "They Live" (fun movie) And then the latest Halloween episode when PCP is dropping F-bombs constantly in front of all the students about what costumes aren't allowed/not PC. He's fun in small doses, I think his introduction was funny, pointing out the "flaws" in South Park. His auditorium announcements are usually good. "Hey Leslie! Shut your loving mouth!" I can't think of anything I lol'd at about Strong Woman though... but I think I might just be the rear end in a top hat cause all women are super funny, get over it. Need more adventures of Jimmy and Timmy. "My gang is the most important thing to me now and if you two don't like it you can just pass the blunt to the nigga on your left."

They really haven't done anything with Strong Womans character yet so it might be just fine if they put an episode arc with her around... AlthoughI feel like they would be more likely to make this series of episodes more based on the girl kids.

Eh, that was a little underwhelming. I wasn't outraged or anything; I just found it kind of light on laughs, which shouldn't be the case when there's a Macho Man Randy Savage character.

Shoulda just kept this thing about the kids at school and made some plot arc where PC Principal makes an rear end out of himself in front of the Nichole and all them where he tries to talk over them or whatever or gets suckered in by Cartman using Scott Malkinson for his own agenda, because that's an idea a lot of people can get behind. Hypocritical allies and people in it for the glitz and glamour are a thing, and this rear end in a top hat has had it coming for a long time. If anything I was kind of hoping for more screentime with the girl characters because it was awesome watching Cartman be humiliated and seeing Stan join on the bandwagon. The whole PC Babies thing could actually work since there are a hell of a lot of privileged rear end kids who piss and moan about the most insignificant things while doing fuckall to actually solve the inherent problems of what they're complaining about in the first place or even contributing to it, but maybe you could go about it in some other way that doesn't lend fuel to the fire for alt-right MAGA goobers' talking points, especially when trans people in athletics is an ongoing issue. They lampooned these types no problem once before with the hippies episode and that was both funny and on point. Doesn't help that Matt and Trey are rich rear end libertarians who once did that dumb Manbearpig bullshit awhile back and only took that back just recently.

Great episode, but transgender men entering female sports events has been something Joe Rogan has been repeating for like an entire year. So maybe it is the time that someone makes a tv episode about it.

Well, I liked it a lot. It doesn't seem like it will cause too much of an uproar or anything but you never know. Is this the first time PC Principal's real name has been revealed? (Peter Charles) Also I was confused by the "Tegridy Farms" outro music still being used. Maybe the next episode will be the "season 2 premiere"?

PC Principal feels like a manifestation of Trey & Matt's compulsive need to self-sabotage. They'll be on a run of solid episodes and then he pops up again so they can ramble confusedly about some social issue.

They kinda almost get there since there's definitely a thing of privileged bullies who use progressive social issues as a bludgeon to exclusively target people weaker than they are while being utterly impotent in the face of anyone with actual power (see Garrison-Trump) but stumble at the finish line in actually picking their battles and falling into the same trap of not correctly determining who actually has the power in a situation, let alone the moral high ground.

As a fan of professional wrestling and an avid board gamer, this episode was right up my alley. I was laughing all the way through, the numerous board game culture references and the idea of girls "intruding" on a guy's space is something I've seen a ton of through the years. I've been disconnected from the main BGG scene for a few years as I prefer card games but I still caught maybe 80% of the games referenced. On the prowrestling side, constant cutting promos on the other women and her bump through the catering table was classic prowrestling stuff and I thought it was great. The trans-athelete issue is a somewhat divisive issue I suppose, but as usual the problem is that South Park took it far into satire land but not far enough that stupid right wingers would miss the point or think they weren't actually parodying anything. The two weeks thing was probably the dumbest thing as a lot of trans people are required to take medications, such as testosterone inhibitors, and a two week turn around is dumb considering they could have easily kept the setup and gone with 2 years.

Yeah, if you're going to do an episode on a fraught issue like this, and demand that society have a nuanced discussion, you should probably make a nuanced argument yourself. Trey and Matt didn't stick the landing here, so it just kind of comes off like it's saying, "Trans women are just men in wigs and cis women should be afraid of them." I don't think that's what they were going for, but a lot of their audience will unfortunately absorb that message. CuddlyZombie posted:As a big board gamer I REALLY liked this episode’s B Plot Yeah, that deserved its own episode imo. I like board games, but my wife's REALLY into them and just fuckin' bulldozes me pretty much no matter what we play. Thankfully she can't play Smash Bros to save her life, so my ego has an out.

Holy poo poo this has to be one of the best South Park episodes ever. Not only they slammed that lovely attitude on some board gamers but they also transitioned it into the board girls destroying Macho Man because she was being a huge dick to Strong Woman. Bonus points for Cartman wanting to start his own grognard group hahahaa, they just needed to add them playing advanced dnd.

It's not even a nuanced issue, it was settled. But conservatives need something to scaremonger over, so here we are. A couple years ago, the Olympics and other competitons established fair guidelines for trans athletes using scientific data, with most generally requiring over two years of hormone therapy before being allowed to compete. Said research also debunking "bone structure" as bullshit, along with pretty much every other talking point. Just, gently caress this whole episode.

vincentpricesboner posted:Wait, what? Isn't bone structure the whole thing about how they can identify the gender of bones from 100s of years ago? In terms of trans athletes, bone structure (in this case referring to longer reach/narrower pelvis) was deemed irrelevant, as cisgender women can have similar or the same without it being an unfair advantage. One of the other go-to talking points is "bone density", which, like muscle tissue, is affected by hormone replacement therapy. After the requisite two years it's roughly the same as a cis woman's. This research has been publicly available for YEARS. But they just jumped on board with every other CHUD harassing trans women.

Honest question, whats the supposed SP hate on trans people? Are we counting really old school episodes or just the new ones? As for the new ones, I saw them hating on Caitlyn Jenner and on this episode they were against someone who transitioned 2 weeks before a big competition. Is this CHUD hating? Am I a CHUD for thinking this was a top tier episode?

Pretty good episode. It's not really any of my business but I do feel bad for the female athletes that are getting beaten in competitions by these trans weirdos. I thought it was going to end with PC Principal deciding to identify as female briefly so he could beat the hell out of not Randy Savage. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
