>>110666628Straight up, I am completely unsure what South Park is trying to say with him as of late. Like, Randy is presented as being a asshole who becomes more and more corrupt as the season goes on, but like... he is our window to how China is 'actually' behaving and he doesn't like it. Disney is also presented as evil, and they also don't like China. Stan's concerns about China are egoistic, about having the... freedom to be a large well known artist without limits? Going by the logic of the show, Randy's perception about China was wrong, or at least China is no more evil than Disney, and Stan is just dicking around. But like... clearly the South Park creators are trying to present China in a explicitly bad light.
I feel like as time goes on they are loosing connection to like solid A->B storytelling, there isn't a theme of both sides sucking even anymore.
