Even though the eventually admitted their mistake with the whole “ManBearPig is real” episode, the damage had been done years prior. I haven’t watched many recent South Park episodes, but I hope they learned their lesson to maybe not ignore actual scientists next time.
If it had happened like in the 1980s or something it would have been forgiveable but it was like 2006 or something, at that point we all already knew climate change was real.
I’d recommend to watch later episodes. They’ve pretty much abandoned the 90s libertarian edge-lord moments and explicitly disclaimed and apologized for it. They’ve had quite a few “wow, we were the problem” fourth-wall-breaking moments in recent years.

South Park would probably be on the side of Google and other corporations, Matt and Trey are diehard libertarian capitalists.

I never really forgave them for the original ManBearPig climat change denialism.
