Detailed Bias Analysis

Center
Primary
The film critiques the lingering societal and personal trauma from the COVID-19 pandemic, satirizing the absurdity of both extreme reactions and the general human inability to move forward. Its focus on individual responsibility and the consequences of past choices, without explicitly endorsing one political ideology's view of the pandemic, results in a neutral stance.
The movie maintains the established diverse cast of the South Park universe without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative employs broad satire, critiquing various societal aspects and human flaws rather than explicitly focusing on traditional identities in a negative, DEI-driven manner.
Secondary
The film includes LGBTQ+ characters, specifically a transgender woman and a gay couple, whose identities are present but not central to the narrative. Their portrayals are incidental, neither actively affirming nor problematic, serving primarily as background details to the main characters' adult lives.
The film features a transsexual character, Nicole, as the wife of Wendy Testaburger. Her identity is present but incidental to the main plot, neither serving as a source of affirmation nor denigration. The portrayal is neutral, acknowledging her identity without making it a central theme or subject of commentary.
The film uses Cartman's conversion to Judaism as a central plot device, but the satire is directed at Cartman's character and his self-serving nature, not the faith itself. His Jewish family is depicted as loving and wholesome, and the narrative ultimately frames Cartman's profound sacrifice within the context of his commitment to this family, lending a positive association to the family unit and the values it embodies.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
This South Park special features adult versions of established characters, all of whom maintain their original canonical genders. No characters previously established as one gender are portrayed as a different gender.
The film features established characters from the long-running South Park series. There are no instances where a character canonically or visually established as one race is portrayed as a different race in this installment.
