I think she's saying that she is a women, and she is being made fun of by Liberals for how she looks. The implication is that men don't receive the same treatment, not that South Park is making fun of all women.

Also bullshit because all I ever do is hear conservatives mock women, mock liberals, call for their silencing and even deaths, call for them not to vote, claim “god” told them so

Krusty the Gnome killed a dog instead of training it. Fuck that fascist, floppy bitch and her dumb fucking makeup and Bible

Personally, I'm not sure I would really consider making fun of someone's cosmetic surgery to be the same as making fun of their looks. Like yes, technically, it is, but it's really just making fun of their personal choices.

Making fun of someone for their genetics is a dick move. But compulsive plastic surgery isn't genetics, it's a voluntary personal choice based on insecurity and vanity (obviously excluding medically recommended plastic surgery, like for severe burns, cleft lip, etc). That's fair game, as far as I'm concerned.

I mean, sort of?

It's much more likely to be indicative of a mental health issue, even if it's just anxiety. Insecurity around how one looks it's usually related to unrealistic societal pressures and bullshit public "standards" as to what qualifies as beautiful.

This usually occurs to women much worse than men and is often directly tied to their "value".

It's easy to see someone fuck their shit up with plastic surgery and go "haha, that's your choice", but, in general, our modern western society is hyper individualistic, where people's difficulties are said to be personal failings. Whereas as a socially evolved species, it's much more tied to our peers and culture than people either realise, or want to admit.

Plus it's easier to ignore these things when you don't like the person at the center of the current discussion

JD vance's appearance was made fun of in the same episode.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

I haven't watched the episode, and I doubt she has seen it either.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

It doesn't matter what point she imagines she's making since it's disingenuous anyway.

Anything less than glowing, fawning, sycophantic praise is unacceptable to these fascists. The FACT of the criticism is the point of contention, not the specifics.
