Roseanne got into a twitter fight because she feels that pre-op transexuals should use the mens or ladies room based on the genitalia they currently have. There is a huge wank in some feminist circles that trans women are not real women and therefore cannot be feminists.

I *think* what the op is saying is that both Roseanne and SP are both guilty of transphobia.

IDK, I can acknowledge that things in the media are *problematic* (I hate that word), but I'm not going to go on a rampage on how horrible everything is.

I like South Park, I like Roseanne. I wish Roseanne was more open minded when it came to gender identity, but I'm not going to let that ruin my weekend Roseanne marathons on TV Land. I sometimes think South Park goes too far, but it's South Park, it's what they do.

In my opinion, that's the beauty of South Park--pretty much anyone could find at least one episode that they'd be offended by. It's fair that way. It might seem like they're going too far insulting one community one week, but then another week they'll go too far insulting the opposite side. I love it.

ITA. One episode can be horrifically offensive to me, and the next one will be hilarious.

I kinda like that they are equal opportunity offenders, it reminds me not to take some shit too seriously.

See, I just choose to not be offended. It's satire. As others have said, "it's what they do".

If the creators honestly believe every single thing they've portrayed in an offensive way they are truly horrible people. However, I am a rational person and recognize that they DON'T believe it, they're just dicking about. Because that's why people watch the show.

This. South Park insults everyone. Obviously, not everyone likes this, and that's fine, but they're never biased to one group.

Even if they insult everyone, they still make episodes where they say certain groups or issues are wrong. They don't treat everything equally.
