      It was always political. But I dont think it was always primarily about politics. Like, back in the day episodes wouldn’t be interconnected with each other. And not all episodes would tackle any sort of political agenda. Only during presidential run of 2015-2016 South park became pretty much all politics.

      I remember hearing an interview where Trey Parker said that Trump began to steal the show, occupying majority of the story and that Trey and Matt hated it and got tired of Trump. They also promised not to become serialized after that.

        Everything is political, and South Park has been one of the most political popular shows. I guess he means it didn’t explicitly feature politicians as much.

        You think genocide has only existed for two years?

          Jst the one which was in global media for 2 years and a major political subject internally. But somehow fully ignored by South Park.

          Name another massive political subject which they decided to spend no attention on.

            I didn’t realize people were waiting on the comedy adult cartoon South Park, known for characters such as a talking piece of shit and a towel that gets high, to comment on global issues.
