And perhaps one of the most wholesome characters in the show. The episode “Cartman Sucks” actually makes me pretty emotional due to the subplot. As a person who experienced “conversion therapy” when I was younger, it took a lot of years of healing. The last thing I imagined was that South Park would bring me some kind of additional closure after all this time.. But Butters’ speech at the end of this episode is kind of life-altering. He literally goes into this camp where kids are un-aliving themselves left and right (something that has happened to many who went through similar experiences), but he manages to save someone. It’s one of the few episodes that can be triggering but offers solace amidst a really dark point in a lot of lives (including mine). Even though Butters is naive to the actual issue, I feel like he represents acceptance and hope for people who have struggled a lot with issues of identity. That’s my spiel. Curious about other episodes that have affected people deeply or in ways that weren’t necessarily expected? 🤔 Another example for me is when Principal Victoria gives Wendy the pep-talk about fighting Cartman during Breast Cancer Show Ever.. A lot of happy tears I wasn’t expecting were shed.. submitted by /u/vitanyroyale |
