[@Brendissimo1]

They have edited all the official wiki pages, official websites, etc. - This is one of the most brilliant and thorough acts of trolling the fanbase I have ever seen. Also, the contrast between Stan misguidedly reading LOTR to try and atone for thinking Tolkien was named Token, and then eventually confessing vs. Randy literally making Tolkien's dad a token black person and ignoring his GOOD ideas is just hilarious.

[@NatsFan18]

Nah it wasn't trolling the fan base it was them trying to be clever about covering their tracks and not be called racist and being cancelled. If it was a one episode thing that would've been fine and funny. Going back and changing Wikipedia and all the episode descriptions is just killing the joke if nothing else.

[@-Miasimon]

If South Park gave a shit about backlash, they wouldn't have dedicated a whole episode about Randy saying the N-word with the hard R. Or the episode where they went hard on trans. Or the episode where every other word was "shit". Or every single Jew joke through all the seasons. Or the episode where Carman killed a kid's parents, made them into chili, and fed them to their kid because the kid sold Cartman his pubes. South Park adapts with the times to be as offensive as possible, without being cancelled. This episode is parodying companies wanting to be "inclusive" by having a token black employee to not seem racist. Token>Tolkien is a perfect and on topic pun, and probably been an idea for ages but there aren't too many episodes with him as a focus.

[@Boxingdragon9479]

Matt and Trey Parker have openly said they’ve been trying to get canceled for years. Those two very much don’t give any fucks lol. They’ve been doing this so long, at this point they’re just waiting to see what joke finally cancels them.

Pretty sure they're going to use Tolkien Black to poke fun at the "much needed diversity" talking point in Amazon's The Rings of Power during the rest of the season.

[@AzureSomething]

It was absolutely a retcon on the name. Remember "Token Black Productions" from the Honey Boo Boo episode?

[@octapusxft]

This episode came right as I was thinking that when Muricans talk about Tolkien the author, they really pronounced it like Token which was hilarious considering the Rings of Power controversy. The Retcon from Token to Tolkien is a symbol of how Hollywood tries to change the phenotypes of characters in fiction and history to be more "inclusive"

[@tonyj9743]

[@theonly764hero1]

He says “maybe you have to find a way to properly get into this [fake woke corporate PR] without being a piece of shit”. He is missing the entire point, which is that the whole “fake woke corporate PR culture”, or whatever you want to call it, that has infected marketing and public relations is a bad thing and it does create a vacuum for abuse and unintentional racial bias for or against certain groups, often with political motives, which IMO is clearly what Matt and Trey were trying to convey with this episode, or something close to it. This dude is just tip toeing around the real satirical message and it’s obnoxious.

[@Brekner]

As a gamer, token instantly brings to mind the idea of something you exchange for other stuff, like a coin. So yeah, I always thought his name was Token but never even considered the other meaning, lol.

21:42 i mean the whole point of tegridy farms .. is that they are farming this idea of integrity without actually living up to the whole thing. Stan was not the issue. he just perceived something wrong and never put much though into it. but randy actively was trying to exploit racial bias in consumers.. just to stay in his comfort zone of power... he and the people buying the product are the ones actively keeping racism alive. while stand who just made a little mistake was the everyone was making unreasonably being punish for something that wasnt that big of a deal in the first place... randy is making stand life harder and more miserable .. cause he is now gonna be cast out as the child of randy...and what was an honest mistake will be judge even harder and more unreasonable... you got to remember stan was trying to deal with the whole thing responsibly... he ask and adult for guidance and instead he was shamed and not given clear guidance. on how to handle the situation. .. to expect a kid to figure out things on his and know what the right thing to do right away is unreasonable.. he is kid... the doctor pointing the finger at the public is pointing out that as consumers ..we help building up what southpark is... and we hold an amount of responsibility for what they are as encourage it over the years.

[@ImCarpet]

You guys agree with boycotting white-owned cannabis growers? Idk a lot about the cannabis business but that seems pretty shitty and racist to only support black growers.. and it leads to businesses doing exactly what Randy did in the episode anyways to make people feel like they're helping Black businesses.
