>>112008296Big Gay Al's second episode was the one where he got fired from the Boy Scouts, and they sued to bring him back, and then he stood up and said "No, you should totally be allowed to discriminate against me," like all minorities do WHEN WHITE STRAIGHT GUYS WRITE THEIR DIALOGUE.
see also their "large corporations are good" episode because nothing bad actually happens to the small business owner displaced by the giant corporation, WHEN CORPORATE TOOLS WRITE WHAT HAPPENS.
and also Mr. Slave premiered in an episode where the moral of the story was "liberals are the REAL nazis, forcing tolerance on everyone. a liberal would totally let a teacher butt-murder a gerbil in front of children."
And also let's not forget that America was THIS FUCKING CLOSE to forgetting the urban legend of "gerbiling" existed, before Mr. Slave did it on Comedy Central's most popular TV show. There is no evidence in medical literature of people putting gerbils in their butts, and it's just a rumor that various homophobes would spread to make gay people seem more disgusting. It's the American version of the Ugandan "eat da poo poo" guy that made the rounds on YouTube back in the day.
so, I would not trust Trey and Matt to know what is and is not harmful to gay people, or any minority. They made the black family in town rich, can't be racist, right? And they can also conveniently ignore the systemic racism that kept black families from buying homes and building generational wealth the way white families did in the 20th century, I'm sure that's just a coincidence. That black family was against hate crime legislation, like black people are WHEN WHITE PEOPLE WRITE THEIR DIALOGUE.
Cartman's pretty much there to provide Obvious Bigotry as a contrast to help hide all the Sneaky Enabling of Actual Sneaky Bigots.
