I dont think most people understand that the episode has nothing to do with trans people

[–] dogrescuersometimes@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

this is called "gaslighting," this particular form is denying the obvious reality.

lol. cogent counterpoint.

[–] KittyMonkTheYoutuber@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the problem is they didn’t make their point clear enough. Maybe add an actual trans athlete who actually disagrees with Heather.

[–] gummythegummybear@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Exactly, they didn’t explain what their message was enough so everyone just sees it as a chance to say a bunch of shit that has nothing to do with it

[–] DonkeyPunchSquatch@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oh? What does this episode have to do with, then?

[–] W3HPSPABA222@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Why does this sub keep upvoting these idiotic ‘ACKSHUALLY, THEY’RE NOT MAKING FUN OF THAT THING’ comments. You guys and your mental gymnastics are crazy at this point.

[–] Abiv23@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Bc Reddit is left of center so they deny any point SP makes about that viewpoint

[–] Tankanko@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think you're undercutting just how left they are, most normal people are just left of center, reddit is like, so left they've spun around full circle and gone total idiot.

love this response. thank you for describing exactly the way i feel abt this

[–] Mr-Pugtastic@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

There are tons of right wing echo chambers on Reddit. You don’t need to cry just because this sub isn’t one.

[–] Past-Yam-9751@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They’re the smart ones who get the hidden deep meaning behind every episode but don’t seem to understand why the PC Principal character exists in the first place.

Maybe they should do an episode where instead of resorting to violence PC Principal just tells everyone he’s smarter than them and on a higher plane of existence.

The creators have said for years they’re making fun of both sides. When they make fun of something, they’re making fun of it. It’s not that deep.

Yup. The episode is clearly about shitty male athletes who went trans “because they’re women,” but then miraculously wind up dominating women’s sports.

Maybe the episode is also about cool board games, and how immature boys don’t read instructions…?

[–] Smirnoff_Ice_King@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No. Not really. Because throughout the entire episode they had maybe one scene about a fake trans athletes dominating women. That gets hyperfixated on.

While an entire plot and ending that gets conveniently overlooked where the board girls demonstrate they are able to put Heather Swanson and Cartman in their place in the girls only activity.

Like who?

[–] Betelgeuse51@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This sub went full PC unfortunately, welcome to 2023.

[–] thecheapseatz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It really annoys me how none of the discussion surrounding the episode talks about PC Principal when he is literally the A plot. Instead the conversation is about trans athletes which is the B plot

[–] fanamana@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because the Macho Man Randy Savage as a trans athlete was the funniest goddamn thing ever. That's all

[–] xDenimBoilerx@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The fact that the show is hilarious never seems to get talked about. It's usually everyone bickering about whose interpretation of the social commentary is correct.

[–] dope_like@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is just wrong. PC Principal and the trans athletes are the A plot. The B plot is the board games.

[–] jhallen2260@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Well it does, it's just not the only topic
