I'm guessing that relative just sees what they want to see, ignoring what doesn't match up to their confirmation bias.

They're dumb centrists. They makes fun of whoever, depending on the week.

I've noticed liberals are more apt to dismiss South Park while righties are more likely to claim it as their own despite the many times it makes fun of them. i'm guessing this is because there are already a whole bunch of liberal television comedies while conversative comedies are non-existent and they're desperate for one.

South Park's defining thing has always been that they make fun of absolutely everything. Though honestly, I always felt its best moments came from blatant absurdity ("Firemen can bring ladders into dreams!"), rather than ripping on the real world.

Does he let the child interact with other human beings? To truly raise a child as gender neutral you have to lock them in a basement.

They're pretty much a "if your shit stinks you will be mocked" show. Don't know if they hit the left harder than the right as I don't watch it much, but I can see them saying "everyone lampoons the right, let's go after less obvious targets" at times.

I mean he did make a whole episode about how great his buddy Rush Limbaugh was.
Seth would be a Republican if only they ditched the religion and supported weed.

Your relative isnt paying attention lol

I am a liberal and I think its the funniest and most clever comedy ever created. They satirize absolutely everything, its not left or right.

Seriously, how could you watch the season that lead up to the 2016 election and afterwards and think its right wing?

They absolutely destroyed Trump over and over again, they ripped on McConnel and Giuliani too. Dont forget them ripping on the oh so victimized whites via The White family lol

Seriously actually watch the show. Its not right wing. I swear people dont actually even watch the crap theyre talking about.

Like I said, they satirize everything they arent on anyones side.

Im a liberal thats a hardcore South Park fan. The problem is most of my fellow liberals are thin skinned wusses who cant take a joke or are too stupid to get the joke.

Came to post this. If someone thinks South Park is a right leaning show they are probably the type of humorous, SJW liberal that uses words like Latinx seriously.

I see some people in this topic saying its a both sides are bad show

Politics is not a team sport. You dont have to only make fun of things on one side of the political spectrum and leave your side alone. Making fun of or criticizing left wing things does not make you right wing, and vice versa.

Creators come across as "classical liberals"/libertarians so they may have a slight bias towards the right, but the show is generally good at shitting on everyone. Its just easier to notice when they shit on your side I guess, and some people are really bad at regulating their emotions.

The idea that "they make fun of everything equally and don't pick sides" has always been nonsense, they clearly take sides and have favourites in most issues they cover.

They don't subscribe to either mainstream American left or right wing ideology though (Libertarian tends to be the best descriptor), and so can sometimes end up supporting some far left or right positions, though more often they just "both sides bad" it.

The Trump presidency and what came with it made them skew left a bit. They're definitely not fans of the modern Republican party.
