In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

South Park stands out as a non-woke outlier, no sacred cows, no ideology too precious to roast. If anything, it’s the antithesis of typical Hollywood wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

South Park is infamous for prioritizing story, satire, and character absurdity over any allegiance to 'woke' ideology. The show casts characters for humor and narrative fit, not identity politics. If anything, it mocks forced representation, rather than committing it.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Religion, family, and masculinity are satirized alongside everything else, but the show rarely preaches that traditional values are inherently bad. Instead, it mocks the excesses of both progressive and conservative trends, targeting everyone equally with irreverence.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

South Park is an equal-opportunity lampooner. Alternative worldviews, including non-woke and traditional ones, are expressed, debated, and lampooned without ideological uniformity. No side is safe from the show’s relentless parody.
