Opinions on kenman? They are so lashed to the mast of the narrative unable to break the cycle I fear I love them. Like. They are both tied to the life blood of South Park to their own detriment and I do think that they are both just awful (affectionate)

I LOVE KENMAN!!!!!! ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL

what’s up. are you guys having a good saturday morning.

television was invented so that south park could be on it. television was invented so that we could watch south park on the television. these things we cannot possibly refute.

what did you think of spring break. gay stan is canon now basically right

(edit: meant to publish this a while ago and forgot because I have the short term memory of a goldfish now)

This made me realize I never gave my thoughts on the last two episodes. Will do another day. (ron howard arrested development narration: she did not.)

To answer your actual question, I -love- how often an episode plot that tangentially relates either directly or more discreetly to some kind of societal crisis of masculinity and/or gender anxiety includes Stan. obvious examples include Cissy, wherein which Stan is seemingly the only one outside of Wendy and Cartman's Shakespearean twelfth night transgender double bluff who has any semblance of actual "crisis" over the modern conception of gender identity, for seemingly no reason? We don't get a scene of him trying on a dress (*cough* chp9 of abfooc *cough*) or asking "what if I'm not a boy?" but his scenes seem to suggest or imply he is asking those questions privately with himself. Stan also shares a lot of focus in tweek and Craig -- not necessarily that homosexuality as a subject for commentary is 1:1 interchangeable with masculinity *now* but for an older generation, like those of Matt and Trey's age, it certainly is, and there really is no way to create a clear cut distinction between homosexuality and transgenderism as two separate experiences with no overlap despite efforts to on both sides of the culture war. Literally the first season of south park has Stan befriend a character named Big Gay Al and proclaim to the entire town that homosexuality is a natural and beautiful thing against the backdrop of our a-plot in which Stan laments his dog being gay b/c he isn't a 'butch' manly dog. Combine that with Stan's growing romantic disinterest in both Wendy specifically (with an episode -this- season showing just that) and girls more broadly as the show has gone on, goddamn. nevermind the subtext we can project onto on the covid specials where Stan, unwell and suffering the simulated tyranny of marriage to a woman (or, woman-figure. We are talking about a robot here.) Is only able to achieve any semblance of happiness by travelling into his own past to tell himself he needs to forgive Kyle or he will regret it every day for the rest of his life. So.

straight Stan -- 0. Gay Stan -- 1

honestly I think part of this is probably that trey parker in a lot of ways strikes me as someone very much so not a Man's Man, y'know. He's loves the shock value, paegentry, and the spectacle of flirting with cross dressing, homosexuality, and gender non-conformity in his chosen mediums in a very attuned... Dare I say, almost butlerian fashion. and also in a way that only infrequently comes across as judgemental or cruel. Though this is obviously not coming from a queer theorist framework and more just trey Parker's longstanding "if you tell me I can't do this I will just to spite you and also fuck you I can do what I want." attitude.

long story short, yeah. yeah stan's gay. throw up the banner.

#i can’t believe i missed this post #stan is gay tag #stan marsh

the thing about style is that i can NOT see stan and kyle calling each other "babe" or "honey" or any petnames. they call each other dude. they could be married with three kids and they'd still call each other dude. dude is eternal. dude is the ESSENCE of style

#yeah definitely #style

Somehow I know all the boys had a things for Marjorine. All of them. They all had at least one moment of intensely fantasising about Butters in a wig and dress (determinedly ignoring the fact that it was Butters) Clyde and Cartman were the worst offenders. Kyle felt the weirdest about it though

#asks #is it just me or is this rly weird

A school bully who keeps up with intercommunity issues so that he always uses the most non-problematic terminology to insult you with

while i’m talking about things that don’t matter it also gets on my nervies when people who have Not watched south park go “lmao gay south park fans have clearly never watched the show they think it’s a wholesome yaoi and don’t know that it’s actually offensive” because they assume the show just spouts as many bigotries as they can fit in their air time. brother i hate to say it but there’s a reason this thing has gone on for 26 years and these guys have piles of awards. critically acclaimed musical The Book of Mormon is basically just a live action version of their usual shit now come on now

[gaystan]

i hate it when people ask what i've been up to lately. i can't say "yeah i've been really into making south park glitter gifs" LIKE WHO THE FUCK LIVES LIKE THIS

#well i like them #style
