Charlie Kirk's Death Turned 'South Park' Into a Target, but Is It Really to Blame?

South Parkhas always been a magnet for controversy, especially with its current run of episodes mocking Donald Trump, but things have escalated following the death of Charlie Kirk. Comedy Central has pulled the Season 27 episode "Got A Nut," which features Cartman mocking Kirk's "Prove Me Wrong" style of debates. This apparently isn't enough for Kirk's supporters, who took to Twitter with claims that South Park painted a target on the Turning Point founder's back. In addition to calls for pulling "Got A Nut" off the air, there have been calls to pull the episode — and the entirety of South Park — off of Paramount+. What these posts are missing is a key bit of context, namely the context surrounding "Got A Nut" and Kirk's reaction to it.
