matt and trey are republicans, by their own admission. they “both sides” a ton of issues. they normalize and defend using slurs when they could get the same point across without them.
I also normalize using slurs, losing retarded and removed is a damn shame, there are plenty of fucking retards out there not to mention the fucking removeds and I am not talking about people with mental illness or gays.
Look at that retarded removed US president they have over there, what are you gonna call him if not that?
Retard is a “slur” that should definitely be normalised, and indeed it was until a group of virtual-signalling losers decided it was very offensive again and tried to cancel anyone who used it. It stopped being used in relation to the intellectually disabled a long, long time ago and was just another generic insult for decades. Ironically, it is the people who complain about it today who are actually the ones giving the word power - if they had just shut the fuck up it would have continued to fade into irrelevance.
It’s funny because they tried to change “retarded” to “special needs” because people were using it as an insult.
Now people call others “special needs” as an insult.
There is no world where people don’t use an adjective to describe mentally impaired people as an insult. Seems kind of pointless to try to police speech around it.
This episode basically commented on that phenomenon. Cartman loses the joy of living because there are no more “woke” people left for him to laugh at. I wish more people on the left understood that by constantly trying to control what everyone else is doing they are just creating things for the right to “resist” against. If people want to use a word in a context completely divorced from its original intent, just let them do it.
It’s also been studied that the more we pay attention to race in society, the more likely people are to be racially discriminatory. Whether it’s positive or negative, having race shoved into every aspect of our lives and every political dialogue is not healthy.
south park is absolutely right wing propaganda.

It’s called the euphemism treadmill, and so many people don’t realise it’s a thing.

It must be exhausting being you.
I didn’t insult you, it’d be awesome if you could reciprocate that courtesy
