[QUOTE=Sableye;49291107]He's more like a more active Decker though, he was asking the replicant test questions[/QUOTE] It was really similar to an earlier intro in Blade Runner, where Decker stops at a farm and terminates a replicant.

Glad to see [sp]PC Principle sticking around.[/sp] Hopefully Trump wins that Republican nomination so that the next season can be even better.
No, please no trump. I don't wish "because it's 2015" guy on you either.
[QUOTE=Sableye;49291107]He's more like a more active Decker though, he was asking the replicant test questions[/QUOTE] To be honest I think both ideas are applicable. God, waiting till next year is gonna suck. So glad [sp]PC Principal is sticking around.[/sp] I wonder if Garrison will still be batshit crazy by the next season. Also what about [sp]non-officer Barbrady[/sp]?

Barbrady has gotten more detailed since he got fired

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;49344741]Why do you think every scene involving Jenner had her running people over?[/QUOTE] I just wanted her to miss once, and then realize her mistake, turn around, and run 'em over.
I just love how a great portion of this season was poking fun at the issue of everyone and everything being overly politically correct. It really is an issue, and I'm glad I got such a good laugh out of all of it. Officer Barbrady though.
PC Principle just has to be based off of John Mcintosh.

everyone is all calling south park transphobic, but caitlyn jenner, despite how silly they made her, they made her a good character. besides, southpark harasses ALL celebrities, [I][U]southpark harasses everyone, and thats what makes it so good.[/U][/I]
[QUOTE=DuCT;49344803]I just wanted her to miss once, and then realize her mistake, turn around, and run 'em over.[/QUOTE] ya but a joke is funny once or twice, they insisted on putting it in every time they had her character pop on screen, it was just sort of annoying

So, I just realised that if you take the final story arc of this season, phrase it a little differently and expand upon it - without even changing the meaning - you end up with the most beautifully trollish conclusion, in that (unlike the other stuff South Park usually does) it would piss off both the Left and the Right in a single idea for entirely opposite reasons. First of all: I don't like the term SJW because it's broadly defined as an insult for "leftists you don't like", but I think it's still the best term to describe "social justice advocates who behave in an impolite/aggressive/inflammatory way and seek to cast out and persecute those who disagree with them", so that's how I'm gonna use it. Anyway, the first part: Outrage culture incentivises, well, outrage. So specifically, outrage culture is what's responsible for social justice warriors. The desire to (a) identify with something and (b) get yourself a lot of exposure and a lot of reactions makes people acts people act in a controversial manner, because controversy is generally the best way to generate outrage. Secondly: The ads are taking over. Internet news and (sort of) social media users benefit from getting clicks (not only) financially. One way to do that is generic clickbait. [I]The other one is outrage.[/I] [B]Thus, capitalism is to blame for social justice warriors.[/B] Not in the usual sense that without capitalism, there's nothing for them to fight against, but that capitalism incentivises being one. [I]Discuss.[/I] :smug:
I wouldn't say capitalism so much as those who benefited from capitalism without putting any work in. Every ultra vocal SJW I've personally met or seen repeatedly in the news yelling LALALALALALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU at the top of their lungs has invariably been the child of rich or moderately well off parents whom has not actually had to struggle to make ends meet ever or even get a job in some cases, except for two, and in those two cases, they adopted their views after landing essentially fluff work day jobs with absurd benefits and great pay. Whether that's the actual trend or not, I have no idea, but it's all I've seen from my end.

Absolutely everything else about Caitlyn Jenner's depiction was fucking gold. But the way she looked wasn't funny, was completely unnecessary, and perpetuated that whole negative perception of trans people as being malformed or stitched together. I find it bad both because I think it's in poor taste, and because I actually expect better humour from South Park than "haha trans people look weird"
[QUOTE=27X;49373109] Whether that's the actual trend or not, I have no idea, but it's all I've seen from my end.[/QUOTE] Well that woman that got Ptsd from tweets and threatened soldiers over it got 3 months payed off work for that so they must be pretty cushy jobs. I kinda wanna score a diversity officer position or whatever.

Have y'all never seen a caricature before? That's what almost every depiction of a real person in South Park is, no more, no less.
Considering everything that went on with Garrison in older seasons, I think the depiction of Jenner was pretty damn tame by comparison.
Bump for season 20. I wonder what topic they'll tackle as an overarching plotline this season?
I didn't really find it laugh out loud funny, but I enjoyed it.
Member when you could beat your wife in public?
IMO it was enjoyable. But not the funniest.
Ehh decent episode, but I was hoping they'd drop the whole [sp]Douche and Turd[/sp] thing. That was funny the first time in its original episode but even there they played that joke out. It would've been neat to hear that just one time to get a good reference, but no more than that.
