Don't refract my point. How is altering your hormones acceptable in any way?
Also to add to that how is Islam, a religion with 109 verses that call violence to non believers (that are advocated to this day), a religion with a literal pedophile as a prophet, acceptable in a modern western society. And I don't want to hear about Christan verses of violence. They're not practiced today and the Bible has a revision. Give me a legitimate answer as to why the Quran shouldn't be revised before allowing Muslims into America.
I'll wait for a real response.

Did you listen to the song? He wrote an entire album about Herman Cain 4 years ago, he knows what he's doing.
And the hits just keep coming!
Your are trying too hard. When it's this obvious you are trolling it doesn't really work.

I see the subreddit that shall not be named managed to seep through.

Nope, probably some Redditor who decided to commit account kamakaze in the name of the subreddit that shall not be named.
not only that, this person sat on this alt 10 months for this.

South Park is a almost literally what happens when two Libertarians grow up playing video games and watching Monty Python. It hasn't been particularly funny for about 8 years, but it's not alt-right.
As far as Boondocks being anti-black... this whole thread is confusing the hell out of me.

I wonder why it was this particular thread which triggered them. The outrage culture from these alt right types is intense.

What's with this d grade troll? Where the art to it? The finesse? These kids just barrel through threads with no respect. Take a look at some classic GAF threads first. Look at the space moors guy. That's a slow burn, a boiling the frog type of troll that by the time you realize they are crazy, the transatlantic slave trade is a lie.
If you are going to troll you can't start things off trolling as hard as possible. You need to at least partially convince people you are legit before going all in. It's just sloppy and shows a real lack of experience at getting under people's skin.
Alt right idiots don't understand shit like nuance or the slow burn. They have to come in swinging all the time.

Probably my favorite MDE bit.
I always got the impression that Sam Hyde is living like Andy Kaufman and is just fucking with people's minds most of the time.

I did chuckle when he asked us to refract his point but sadly I don't have a prism to do that.
There's actually been a lot of them lately, really shitty attempts to infiltrate in here or something.

..."refract"? What?
Anyway, now that they're gone -
South Park is, as others have pointed out, basically teenage "It's all bullshit anyway" cynicism masquerading as profundity. It can, sometimes, be funny, usually when they're in full-on absurdism mode. Other times, especially when they're trying to make a political point, it's gratingly didactic and relies on a middle schooler's grasp of nuance.
Their stuff about trans people in the past is basically unforgivable, though their more recent stuff has at least been less awful than it could have been (which is, admittedly, a pretty low bar).
And as for the "they shit on everyone equally" thing - that's such an enormous cop out. It's like the old Anatole France quote - "The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread."
"Shitting on everyone equally" does not have an equal impact.

I'm saying this as a fan of T&E and Eric Andre; I can barely even follow what's happening. Seems to dial the surreal factor too far for me to even make a judgement about whether it's a parody or sincere representation of the alt-right or whatever the fuck it's trying to say. Given how blatantly liberal the rest of [as] and its creators are, I'm holding out from making a judgement until this develops a bit more.
Also saying South Park is alt-right is incredibly disingenuous. Their contrarian style and 'both sides are the same!' rhetoric can get obnoxious, but unless you inherently have an issue with Matt and Trey being libertarian with conservative leanings (I'd absolutely consider them socially liberal however), I'm not really sure where it's coming from? Both in interviews afterwards and even in the episodes themselves I think they made it pretty clear their stance on PC was legitimately "it's a good concept but some people take it way too far for personal gain and don't solve the issue', not "PC culture is me not being able to call someone a fag/nigger without getting called out on it". Hell they even tried to drive that point home in the finale with PC Principal staying around yet humbled instead of just getting horribly mutilated like people who took him at face-value hoped he'd be.
Not to mention they went full-ham on Trump last season regardless. I get that there's a ton of material in the last season unsavory online types are going to jump all over, but I highly doubt they're going to stay quiet on a lot of issues those alt-right/GG/Neo-nazi types probably want them to stay quiet on this season.
how the hell is boondocks 'anti-black' either
Don't play coy. You jumped into the middle of a pile on after I dared make a rather benign observation that could be considered a criticism of some on the left's broadly encompassing use of the term alt-right on this forum and the lack of an agreed upon definition.
350 posts in here prior to mine and you decided this was the battle you needed to get in on.
These were the two posters you felt you needed to help out by reiterating their demand for qualification that they had no mind to demand of anyone else.
Of all the opinions thrown around casually in this thread prior, mine was the one you just had to do that for.

More commenting on this post than to the poster, but
1. It's always funny how posts like these are always the most outraged and angry about something.
2. For posterity, the psychological community does not recognize being trans as a disorder.
3. Trans people have a high suicide rate because of abuse, not because they are trans.
4. You talk about suicide rates, but the most suicides I see are from alt-right accounts like yours.
I pretty much agree with you. You'll notice that one of the skits:
https://youtu.be/i3Xoqy0iTns?t=78
is making fun of the wacko alt-right people, talking about 'how the only way to have safe money is to put your money in gold bars, like in Looney Tunes" (one of the alt-right/libertarian tenets is how awesome the gold standard is and how everyone should switch to it) and "if you wanna be safe, get a bomb shelter, get an AK-47 and booby trap your house with live grenades."
I still think Sam Hyde is just fucking with everybody.
Oh right, here's him making fun of "redpilled" conspiracy nuts:

That seems like a lot of work for whoever is behind purgethissite to go through just to have one short off-topic, hateful rant in a thread that isnt even getting that much traffic.
I'm sure he could get some well earned brownie points over on that reddit of the same pejorative he used for the name of this forum. Not sure what he will do with them though, maybe they have achievement badges or something?

what did you guys think of tonight's episode? The look on Sam's face as he said "David Duke" like he just got away with something was priceless. That Moonman namedrop was also the most actually alt-right thing that's happened on the show so far. It also may be the ironic lowpoint of his comedic career, since as far as I know he's never referenced an internet meme directly before.
I know he was dressed as someone specific in that short music video, but I can't tell who. Was it the Hatred protagonist, or a black metal vocalist or something?

The first episode was originally going to be the fifth episode but MDE switch it around because they felt it would serve as a way to "ease in" the adult swim audience. It's the most tame episode of the bunch. (although it does have a lot to say about prostitution, sex work, sexual violation and degradation etc. in the last sketch.)

Yeah, it's just real absurdist and out there.
I've been subscribed to their youtube for years. Kickstarter TV in it's entirety and an Inconvenient Anime are both hilarious. I don't really care about Sam Hyde's political thoughts but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he's just making fun of the alt right.
He seems like the kind of guy who would be making fun of you to your face and you wouldn't even know it.

A bunch of the far left tumblr Steven Universe fanbase got pissy at the show because it advocated nonviolence in the face of oppression.
MyNationalistPony is.... yeah, you probably know everything you need to know from the name.
In short, having a fringe political fanbase doesn't really reflect on the quality of a show.

This is some pretty interesting comedy that is certainly on the bleeding edge of the bleeding edge. I don't know if you guys remember, but Hyde is associated with another comedy-performance artist that gained infamy for threatening Brianna Wu in character. This comedian's channel wasn't the alt-right persona that Sam Hyde has cultivated, but more of a 9/11 truther who thought his fans were trying to make him gay by flashing their dicks to him on skype. He also allegedly sent a friend to Jerusalem to look for fucking 2pac. He maintained his character 24/7 on his youtube and social media for several years without breaking character, until he had to come clean after the Brianna Wu controversy.
Sam Hyde was his mentor, and has taken the same approach with the development of his own comedic persona. The comedy extends beyond the show, into social media, public appearances, and etc. These are the facts. Now whether or not you think this level of immersion into performance art is responsible or not is up to you.
Personally, I'm really enjoying just how experimental this show is and the musical artists that they are collaborating with. They're clearly working on some high concept-stuff here beyond just being random and offensive, and I'm looking forward to how it turns out.

I haven't watched South Park for years but unless it has changed drastically, that stuff isn't even close to being "alt-right".
Seems like an accusation by people who haven't seen it or have seen clips out of context.
I mean some of their parody stuff completely misses its mark sometimes but those guys aren't bad people.
This show looks like trash though, in many different ways.

There does seem to be strong movement in the left for stringent purity tests recently. Not unlike the purity tests we used to rightly mock the right for. Its getting a bit weird out there.

(I mean, they're meaning it more in the sense of Locke/Smith liberalism than "opposite of conservative" liberalism. E.g. as the thing that replaced absolutism and was eventually challenged by fascism and communism; basically every American political party, and most European ones, are some flavor of liberalism under this definition).
