It's an election year (in the US)! You know what that means - another year of Giant Douche vs Turd Sandwich!
OUR RULES ON POLITICS
IF YOU DO NOT READ THIS POST YOU RUN THE RISK OF GETTING PERMANENTLY BANNED.
All political discussion must pertain to the world of South Park.
Again: All political discussion must pertain to the world of South Park.
Once more for those in the back: All political discussion must pertain to the world of South Park.
This means real world politics are only to be discussed within the context of the show. If someone does not appear in the show, well they don't really belong on this sub. Donald Trump does not appear on the show as President Trump - that is President Garrison.
Do you love and support the left? We don't care. Do you love and support the right? We don't care. Are you a Libertarian? We don't care. We are unpaid mods here to enjoy a tv show, not push agendas, get into political slapfights, or deal with a bunch of political shit. If you want to have a political discussion, go to or any of the numerous other political subs. We are a sub about the television South Park. We are not a sub about politics.
We do not allow political adjacent discussion, political discussion, or discussion of political figures.
FAQ
Why don't you allow real world politics?
We decided that real world politics just aren't worth the shit show they bring. When someone mentions Biden or Trump, or one of the numerous wars going on, a lot of people from outside the subreddit come in to argue political points and push agendas. We are not here to moderate that type of discussion, and if you as a user want that discussion, you can find it basically anywhere else on reddit.
Why don't you change the rules?
We are a subreddit about a TV show, and as such it wouldn't make sense for us to be a political subreddit. We know Southpark often times connects, mimics or otherwise makes note of current events and we'd love you to discuss that - just keep it within the context of the show.
But President Garrison is supposed to be Trump!
That isn't a question, but we all know who he is supposed to be. You want to make some stupid meme? Use President Garrison, just leave Trump & his name out of it. (Seriously, even putting his name in a title brings out the politics.) You can use the actual Donald Trump from the show. He isn't president in the show, so it won't exactly make sense, but you do you. Southpark has not made mention of President Biden, nor is there a character who was "transformed" into him, so you'll have to leave him out.
I got banned for politics, what do I do?
First off you should read this post. A link to this post may be included in your ban message. Once you have read this post, respond to the message and tell us you have read this post and are sorry for breaking the rules. So long as you aren't a dick about it, you will get unbanned. Seriously, an apology will get you so far.
I am trying to write a fan script about Southpark. Am I allowed to use political things that haven't appeared in the show?
Simply put: no. We will still remove the post, because all this is going to do is fuel the fire and draw more political comments.
I have additional questions! What do I do?
Send us a ModMail and we may add it to the Q&A!
And don't forget: All political discussion must pertain to the world of South Park.
