Maybe it is time to transition the meaning to a new word! Good idea. It hits like fresh santorum. I already call old people presidential… “People of a certain presidential age”
SouthPark made some lead way with changing the “F aye Gee” word to mean inconsiderate insecure people who drive loud motorcycles around.
I think it stuck a bit for a while.
I still hear people making that joke sometimes.
It’s the only time you can call someone a fg. And that’s fine. We really did need a word for them and why not repurpose an outdated one. ?
South Park’s brand of enlightened centrism has played a not insignificant role in encouraging people not to vote. Even that goddamn giant douche and turd sandwich episode uncritically promotes a false equivalency where an admittedly not very useful container of water is the same as actual shit on a sandwich going in your mouth.
I think they were criticizing the government and how we consistently have two shitty options.
Doesn’t stan decide at the end of the episode it’s still best to choose the lesser shit option ? But there is some critique about how the people aren’t really represented anymore by politicians. Maybe they never were.
I do believe the creators have changed their position on a number of topics over the years. Like global warming.
They often criticize the left but they criticize the right even more.
I mean cartman is the character that represents the right conservative the most and the show makes it a point that cartman embodies all the worst traits of humans.
But that’s accurate and doesn’t attack marginalized groups!!! Doesn’t have the same punchiness for this person and that’s what’s actually important here. \s
How would you feel about calling such things “Republican” or “Trumpy”?

Maybe SouthPark could help with “retard”.

That episode is like 20 years old tho.
It was bullshit then too and their perspective hasn’t shifted much. They still claim to be libertarians for fuck’s sake.
