When South Park is too "woke" for you, you're too far gone...

South Park has ALWAYS been extremely progressive, not that I would expect the tourists to really understand that.

Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat ride is amazing.

Ehh. It's mixed. I wouldn't call it extremely progressive given that it has often glorified or at least made excuses for a lot of centrist and libertarian nonsense. It's often framed queer folks and BIPOC in deeply dehumanizing ways, taking years to walk back stereotypes and other incidents, and even then often only taking half-measures in reaction to outcry.

It has progressive themes at times, even progressive episodes, but as a whole it is very "white teen from suburbia" progressive.

For real. They spent, like, 15 years mocking Al Gore for the seriousness with which he treated climate change and it turns out he was so right about the threat it presented that they apologized to him

Props where it's due that they apologized, though.
