Yes, no conservative ever made fun of how Michelle Obama looks. /s

[–] Taco2112@lemmy.world 71 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

That was my first thought. How many times have I heard Michelle Obama called a man?

I will admit, I thought that making fun of ICE Barbie’s looks was unnecessary and the GOP counter would be exactly what she said. But, I still laughed because she’s made of plastic.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago

Plus she's a horrible person.

Limbaugh called Chelsea the family dog when she was a teenager.

Still brings me joy to know he's dead.

[–] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 25 points 13 hours ago

That's even worse, as Chelsea was only a 12 year old kid at the time.

I don't know if the article mentions this, but she said she didn't even watch it.

Which makes it funny that she thinks they were only making fun of her looks, because they were overwhelmingly making fun of her for killing puppies.

this is practically any conservatives calling thigns woke, never watch trek, or stargate, star wars call it woke, boyz/genV, doctor who too. they only need to hear an characther was gender or raceswapped and they get thier panties in a wad.

Wait I thought South Park was irrelevant and no one had watched it in 20 years just a week ago, now they warrant additional comment? Interesting...

They're not making fun of women. They're making fun of your goofy looking ass specifically.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 14 points 12 hours ago

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

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

South Park writers are Liberals now?

I mean... they've been making fun of everyone except Libertarians for decades, but I guess in the recent years they've been pretty anti-Trump.

...but Trump deserves it for ruining the Member Berry season of South Park

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'd say their episode about trans women in sports was pretty fucking right-wing, but it seems like even "liberals" are jumping on that bandwagon now.

Meanwhile JD celebrates being made fun of on South Park and Kirk changed his Twitter profile pic to Cartman doing Kirk's schtick.

Maybe Noem needs to chill the fuck out.

[–] Funky_Beak@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Always wondered who the people who thought cartman was a role model were

Probably some overlap with Homelander fans in that venn.

Noem and Trump have to realize one very important thing.

Matt and Trey don't give a shit and no one is off limits.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

did she just call Trump a liberal?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 15 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

I find it interesting that that's the part she cares about, not the rest of it.

she was depicted as a puppy-shooting, Botox-using ICE agent who arrests anyone suspected of being Hispanic. She raids a local production of “Dora the Explorer Live!” and sports oversized, plump lips.

The episode also depicted Vance as an annoying man-baby who gets kicked around (literally) by Donald Trump. Vance responded on X by posting: “Well, I’ve made it.”

We're going to watch it this weekend, so I didn't dive too deeply.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

NGL, probably the best response for finding out you're depicted on south park. Still don't want him or anyone even tangentially associated with peter thiel in office tho.

Libertarians are fluffers for Conservative fascism. Where as they'll accuse progressives of being PC-Police, and attempt damaging philosophical criticisms there, when it comes to Conservativism they tend to go soft. Only giving marginal personal critiques, because Libertarians and Conservatives both want to remove regulations and rights. They both want less laws and reprocussions. Less protections for the vulnerable. More markets and moneyed companies in control.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

Yes, yes, it's always the liberals, Krusty, we heard you the first time.

[–] hansolo@lemmy.today 12 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

... How they paid to look.

Noem paid someone maybe even hundreds of dollars - and took time off work - to look like that.

To quote liberal Amber Ruffin when shown a picture of Kristi Noem circa 2012ish on an episode of Have I Got News For You: "oh my god, she's actually beautiful."

Look, body dismorphia is a thing. Women in public are critizised for aging normally. No getting around that, but that doesn't mean we can just ignore the fact that when ignoring the option of therapy, she asked for "Sad 90's Pornstar Face #44283" at the bargain basement plastic surgeon as a way to win favor in with the GOP.

The fact that Noem was more offended at being portrayed as a disfigured mess needing constant botox pit stops, than an absurdly racist puppy-killer says everything about her character.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago

The creators of South Park, known liberals. 🙄

plastic surgery is not how humans look, but aliens wearing human skin.

Trans people get plastic surgery too :(

Sounds like Matt and Trey got even deeper under her skin than her plastic surgeon.

No mention of the constant dog shooting in the episode….

Liberals don't make fun of women for how they look. Liberals make fun of fools who waste their money to look like mannequins

I didn't watch the episode, but I did watch a lot of scenes that other people have posted, and I suspect that includes most, if not all, of the scenes where they portray Kristi Noem.

NOT ONCE did they make fun of the way she looks in any part that I saw. Maybe I missed it, like it was in a different part, but I'm sure that she's referring to the same scenes that I saw. I can't imagine that she actually sat down and watched the episode. The only thing they said about her looks was when Mr. Mackey said something like "She looks nice."

It is obvious that Noem has had many cosmetic procedures. I don't think she denies it. The botox is obvious. South Park did make extensive fun of all the cosmetic procedures and botox she's had, but not about the way that she looked before or after the procedures.

I don't think we should accept Noem's rewriting of history to make herself a victim. South Park did not make fun of her for how she looks, at least not in the parts I saw.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Yeah, but conservatives only see women as stay at home submissive non-voting breeding stock.

Just laugh and tell her to get back in the kitchen?
