Kristi Noem: “It never ends, but it’s so lazy, to make fun of women and how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that. If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that. But clearly they can’t. They pick something petty like that."

If Trey Parker and Matt Stone get arrested, then you know freedom of speech in the US is truly dead.

I give it a year or two, tops.

They won't because feds never go after high profile people. They find "lesser" people to abuse and rub that into peasants' faces.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah that was the old feds. The new feds are operating like a mafia, so they will 100% go after at least one high profile person to make an example out of and take all their shit as a warning to the others. Kinda like Putin and his oligarchs. My guess has been Mark Cuban would be the example, but perhaps Matt and Trey would also work

Paramount pays them "fuck you" money. They got 1.5b just for the streaming rights.

Oh lol, they will just get cancelled. You know, the thing that conservatives have been projecting about the last several years.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 19 points 20 hours ago

And they'll take that cancelation straight to the bank, because they just got renewed before the season kicked off.

My biggest problem with her appearance is when she appears to be shooting a fucking puppy.

[–] cubism_pitta@lemmy.world 24 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

That part where she talks about doing what has to be done is directly from her auto biography... where she talks about shooting her puppy and goat.

My memory is bad but I recall her kids getting home from school right after she shot the goat.

If they hadn't gotten home she was going to piss in the fish tank too.

Bitch is unhinged and they were kind to her

If you stop the episode 2 seconds before the end, you can pretend that one dog got away.

You will get to a point in the near future when a Hispanic dog walker will be taken by ICE mid walk and they will leave people dogs loose on the side of the road. They won't care, people's dogs will be dead, and it will get more air time on the news stations than the Hispanic American citizen child with cancer that was removed from the country with no medication.

Your country is fucked.

[–] LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 13 points 22 hours ago

? There's been dogs being forcibly abandoned already due to ICE deportations. Animals left in homes. What you're describing has already happened

[–] OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 5 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Generous of you to assume the dogs would get left loose instead of shot.

So she admits he's either a liberal or an extremist. I bet she doesn't think he's a liberal.

Conservatism is an ideology that wants the in-group protected by the laws but not bound by them, and the out-group bound by laws but not protected by them.

That wordless response was excellent.

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 44 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Guess she forgot how much hate Michelle Obama got from the Rupublicunts over her looks. But I guess Noem doesn’t consider Michelle Obama to be a woman to begin with.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 9 points 13 hours ago

It is based when we shit on Michael, but it is disgusting sexism when SS Commander Noem gets mocked

[–] bassomitron@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Only the liberals and extremists do that, lol. Well, she's not wrong, their cult does in fact resort to such low-brow humor. Their cult leader/prophet engages in it regularly, in fact

[–] arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 19 points 23 hours ago

Once again demonstrating that every accusation is an admission when it's coming from them.

Also I like how she says they can't criticize her actual work despite ceaseless criticism for the past half year.

[–] Coleslaw4145@lemmy.world 32 points 11 hours ago

She didn't say anything about shooting the dogs because she probably doesn't realize its a parody and instead thinks of it as an accurate representation.

[–] NoodlePoint@lemmy.world 30 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

screeching "sexist"

ultraconservative power-mad woman supporting obviously sexist bigots in power.

Such duality.

[–] chrislowles@lemmy.zip 28 points 8 hours ago

Notice how quick they are to pull the ism/ist playbook out when they're the targets, I know it's been said before but I don't care, every accusation is an admission when it comes to the MAGA/GOP constituency.

[–] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 28 points 16 hours ago

Mad they mocked her looks but not the her platform?

Her shooting a dog every scene?

Mmmmmkay

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 28 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Two things:

  1. This lady must not know what South Park is.

it’s so lazy, to make fun of women and how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that.

👁👄👁 wat?

It's like fucking wordsalad everytime a MAGA-person is talking. This genuinely feels like a bait comment.

Btw, you are the extremist, sweetie. I also remember how the MAGA crowd made a ton of weird claims against Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. Took out of context clips where she made weird faces and made conspiracies about her being a robot or a reptile or that she was having a stroke and was therefore unfit to lead the country. So many embarrassing and awkward pics and clips of her on the internet. Lots of comments about how it made sense why Bill cheated when he had to look at "that" everyday. But I guess it's okay when your side does it, right? Man, how childish and retarded politics have become. I miss when the grown ups were in charge.

Do you remember "Michelle Obamamust be a man because she has wide shoulders"?

LOL, they are definitely not liberals.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 18 points 19 hours ago (10 children)

They've said before that, if you had to label them, the most accurate label would probably be libertarian. Which is pretty par for the course for the criticize/mock everyone and play on the shock and disgust of others for a laugh crowd, which was definitely true to a great degree in the early seasons (I say that with love for Trey and Matt).

Of course that was 20 years ago, and people change. But if I had to guess, I bet they would say that their politics have remained largely unchanged even as the show has transformed... well, transformed, a bit. I was going to say "matured" but that definitely seems wrong. We're still talking about small dick jokes and gory murder of animals which has a long proud tradition in South Park.

Anyway, any appearance to a leftward shift is largely just the rightward shift of American politics and those in power while they remain in place. No offense intended to them, but I can't imagine decades of success in media production, specifically by saying "fuck you" to everyone, has made them LESS libertarian. It's a trope for a reason.

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, they've stayed where they were while everyone around them goosestepped to the right, and now accuse them of being leftists.

Can't wait for people to start calling them woke. 🤦‍♂️

It may be very common these days that people alter their appearance through means of plastic surgery and what not. But it's perfectly fair to criticize this behavior. Of course South Park will grab any noticable feature and go over the top with it, so you shooting your puppy becomes you shooting puppies all the time, and you looking like a woman made of plastic becomes your face collapsing regularly.

South Park does not often criticize people for how they look. They usually criticize people for how they made themselves look.

They made fun of Michael Jackson's plastic surgery too, but this was more extreme.

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 hours ago

They are not criticising women, they're criticising Kristi Noem.
