The fourth episode of south park, aired in 1997, was a pro-gay message that painted your stereotypical lisping femme in a positive light and explicitly showed him as safe to be around a child.

i get it. south park is easily lumped into Offensive Cartoon Sitcom with family guy and robot chicken and all that. and it's tempting to brush it off as "oh just 'cus the fandoms really gay doesn't mean the show is". hell, it's not MY first choice for Best Queer Media, either. But South Park has CONSISTANTLY been there for gays from practically day one. It has actively made a choice to take the scary stereotypes that conservatives point to to make you hate us, and make them real people who are beloved in their community. It has a transphobic history, yes, but it came around. it has one of the ONLY detransitioned characters i can think of. if we count the video games, it gave us THE most inclusive character creation style as far as stating your identity. it very loudly made a case FOR gay marriage when that was an issue, and when the trans bathroom stuff came around, it very much made the case FOR letting trans people into the bathroom they're most comfortable in.

south park is not only queer media, it is undeniably important in the history of queers becoming more accepted in our world. hazbin may not have been able to air had south park not been there before. that's not a punch against hazbin, i love them both(yeah yeah i know), but for these reasons, i do feel SP deserves the vote.

BEST QUEER MEDIA TOURNAMENT FINAL ROUND!!!!!
