For my part, I'm not willing to believe that Kathleen Kennedy's decisions were not of a malicious nature. This woman personally stated that she was not interested in hiring any men to work at Lucasfilm, and smugly posed for photos with her "The Force Is Female" T-shirt. If she were merely an out-of-touch businessperson trying to appeal to popular trends, you would think the backlash would have altered her creative strategy prior to, say, her attempt to gut the legacy of Indiana Jones.

I think the point is being missed with Southpark being apparently “safe”. I think they do that on purpose, so that it’s more subtle. It’s really hard to say they are making a direct parody, because they create a fictional character, but in reality everybody knows exactly what they’re saying, because everybody’s thinking it. Moreover, Disney couldn’t claim that there’s any slander, because it’s obviously made up. They’d need to essentially admit to all their faults to accuse Southpark of slander. That’s why it’s clever.

Even Dr. Who is crapping on the first ever black, gay doctor by having an uncomfortable amount of white people solve his problems for him. I'm not even mentioning the episode in which Ncuti has a black savior complex that gets (rightfully) rejected by actual racists. A message delivered by a white woman, before Ncuti throws his little fit about being rejected as their black savior. It was such a badly done episode that it isn't Dr. Who, it is Dr. Cognitive Dissonance. A place where a black, gay guy is supposed to shine as the doctor, but instead he is also the strawman for the patriarchy that they are taking down.

The alternative reality Cartman/Kennedy wasn't done to shift blame just in case, it was meant to be a fusion of Cartman and Kennedy, as Kennedy's poor choices and Cartman's vitriolic letters had created the cycle of hate that had reduced the Disney movies into the garbage that they have become.

The vitriolic letters never would have happened if KK hadn't done what she did in the first place, there is no 'oh but she means well', she was always a duplicitous snake in the grass, the idea of both sides being to blame is not how the reality bares out. No matter how over the top some people have been, fan action is not responsible for where we are now, It ALL began with KK and to even consider otherways is shifting the blame.

[@schrodingerscat1863]

It was an excuse to be able to show the true KK with all her DEI activism and as a total control freak. Without doing it the way they did it could have given KK's team cause to think they had a case against Matt and Tray, not that it would have been successful but better not to have it at all.

[@William-the-Guy]

True. In the episode, the "real" Kathleen Kennedy is actually a good person, all the negative things were done by a version of her from an alternate universe. In this way, South Park has an extra layer of protection. They portrayed the "real" KK very well, all their criticism was levied at the alternate universe Cartman version that they made up. If Kennedy tries to sue them for THAT she will look ridiculuous.

The creators of South Park are masters at making their content impossible to sue (successfully). Cartman Kennedy is a perfect cover to allow them to claim (truthfully) that they were only satirising her/Disney as opposed to the episode being blatant slander. It's a necessary evil to get their point across without making them liable.

[@kelp7060]

If what you said was true then she would be able to sue all these KZbinrs, which sounds like crap. What is the slander? That she makes movies that panders to audiences and she's incompetent? We might as well be able to sue anyone for just opening their mouth for anything.

Matt and Trey may have waited till it was safe but they are the ones who FINALLY said the quiet part out loud.

[@kri249]

I'll give Matt & Trey some credit. It may not so much be that this episode has come out now because it's safe. It could just be they've caught onto it now. Or they waited for Disneys reputation of "putting chicks in it and making it gay" became solid enough they couldn't escape it. I mean, it wouldn't age well to call Disney out on it after the first few times they did it and there was still potential to put things back on track. At that time only youtube critics caught onto it and were worried if the trend was going to continue. Now, Disney can't deny it at this point because they've tanked all their properties and have a whole library of modern films with chicks and gay in them as evidence of it. So I think the safety of this South Park episode wasn't in Disneys retaliation but in the assurance of its claims.

[@DaDitka]

It's not just the people under her. Kennedy has a boss. And that boss approves of her work. It's not like the CEO and Board were all sitting around going "Gee, one of OUR employees is doing stuff we don't like. If only there were a way for an EMPLOYER to get rid of an EMPLOYEE. Grr..."

[@nendymion]

True, she does have a boss and it's Bob Iger. His actions do show that he supports what she's doing. There was a point several years back where people thought he was going to get rid of her. Channels like Midnight's edge talked about it consistently and at several points over the years kept bringing back that she may get fired soon even though it never happened when they tried predicting it. It got bad enough were people in the comments started lambasting the channel for always talking about he she was going to get fired but it never becoming a reality.

[@BushBumperBaker]

Matt and Trey can be kind of pussies when it comes to this stuff. They try to play both sides and remain centrist. In a way it's genius to do so, but they can be too soft. They'll throw bones to both sides. That "railing on woke shit all the time is kinda lame too" line Cartman said was to pander to SJW's to make them think the episode was on "their" side. I feel like M&T hate this stuff as much as us, but if they go too hard they'll cause "too much" controversy and it will affect their ratings. Which is hilarious considering what they've already put out in the past.

[@andrewdennis0]

He is another KZbinr that is just like these guys who discusses many of the same topics and news, perhaps without the same level of tactfulness, though he puts out multiple videos a day with click bait titles and little substance to justify the multiple videos. Honestly, I feel this group of people are no different. They are all peas of the same pod, and all are overly cynical, slamming films, actors, and projects without even really giving it a fair chance because it's the bandwagon thing to do and it's what their channels are built on. Whenever the criticize a film, I usually take it with a grain of salt. I think the Drinker is the best of them, but they are all sort of lame.@@TeamMagicLifeOfficial

After watching some of Mike Zeroh's videos, I asked myself, "Where is he getting this information?"

[@jspaingreene6350]

Right? I kept seeing his thumb nails and wondering where that stuff came from...I don't understand how he's allowed to post such fantasies as reportage.

[@utsxslv]

Mike zero makes so many videos! It took me several to realize that he doesn't say anything new in any of them. He's very good! He can make an entire 20 minute video and not give you any new information and yet he talked the entire time.

[@ressljs]

I occasionally watch his videos. I found them interesting in limited doses and I never thought too much about them. But considering a lot of these channels mention each other (for example, Clownfish doesn't run with this crowd, but they do reference them), it had occurred to me that no one ever mentions Mike Zeroh. Listening to these guys bag on him, I'm kind of seeing the pieces fit together.

[@cornerofthemoon]

You're right about Mike Zeroh. He'll block you immediately if you call him out as well. I learned way back in 2017 when I innocently asked him on Twitter regarding his source for a Last Jedi article before I was wise on his clickbait fiction.

[@michaelvigil3436]

I’ve literally never heard of the guy until his videos about South Park have been showing up in my feed, I thought they were a little interesting but I had no idea about his reputation. This makes a lot of sense to me because he’ll keep coming out with videos that sound like breaking news in the Disney vs South Park situation but there’s usually just speculation or no new information at all in the videos. Anyways it was just surreal to hear a channel I just now started watching somewhat get called out by a channel I respect lol.

[@cornerofthemoon]

His videos are interesting if you accept it as opinion. However, if you're looking for breaking news it's better to look elsewhere. Most of his "scoops" are obviously conjectural and made up on the fly as you never can find an article or even a reddit chat to back it up.

I'd agree they went too soft. Even if it were true that KK is reacting to the backlash by destroying more and more, that's not an acceptable thing to do. It's a childs tantrum, and arguably worse than if she were just doing it out of some pretensious moral imperative. You don't get to break all the other kids' toys just because they didn't like the way you drew all over their art you stole previously, I mean thats some ridiculous shit she should've learned in pre-school. So yeah, I think they went way too soft, and I did not like the way they presented that alternative as a more understanding and acceptable way to view KK, because it's not. It's worse
