Although I like the presentation of Trump as a near clone of the Saddam Hussein character of South Park’s heyday and pointing out the gross control of media outlets, I have a hard time with the massive amount of slur usage.

I understand that the hyperbolic usage of the slurs and other offensive language in this episode is intentional and is calling out how backwards it is, but when you’ve had the f-slur violently thrown at you in situations where you’ve felt unsafe, it sure hits differently to have it carelessly bandied about like its still the 20th century.

I could be wrong, but weren't most of the slurs coming from Cartman?

Nope. It was a lot from the group of townsfolk that decided to resist, especially Kenny’s dad. Even the new reporters were doing it

I mean at least they're forcing folks to see the kind of hate that the ignorant want to be able to say, without being judged, for being the bigots they absolutely are. The folks who are okay with the country being destroyed are okay with just absolutely dehumanizing and it's ugly to see, don't let them hide.

Not advocating to stop or censor it. More bringing attention to this side of the conversation
