I don’t think you realize what this did, people aren’t afraid and if I’m reading trends right this is going to backfire greatly for the hard left. If you go on right wing platforms it’s loaded with post after post of left wingers who just got fired from their jobs yesterday after celebrating his death online. Rumors of FBI watch lists and doxxers doxxing left wingers, yankee stadium even honored him. This isn’t the win you think it is

I think you overestimate how consequential this could be. He’s dead. He’ll have a funeral, some people will talk about that, and then Trump will have to keep saying and doing more stupid stuff to keep diverting the attention from he fact that he raped children and 2 separate committees in Congress are now working to bring that to light.
Meanwhile Netanyahu and Putin are doing their best to start WWIII, not to mention the hurricane season is upon us. This was a 31 year old cry baby who got axed in a public and shocking way, but it won’t take a week before we can’t remember how long ago it was he died.

It isn’t a win for the left at all. In fact this seems to be sowing a lot of dissent in the the left. I have some friends that are left. This shook them up. They always say Charlie as a decent person with ideas they didn’t agree with. Not someone who should be shot.

Was it South Park (as in Matt Stone and Trey Parker + studio) proper or was it Paramount and/or Comedy Central?
Seems like a very likely move that the studios pulled it. It seems unlike Matt and Trey to pull an episode, even as drastic as the situation is (don't know that anything comparable that could be attributed to them has happened in the shows history - open to being corrected if I'm wrong on that).
It's my understanding that they just decided not to air that particular rerun on that particular day.
You are correct that the decision appears to have originated at Comedy Central proper.
However, in the early 2000s there was something called a 'South Park Republican,' which was basically referencing younger, Libertarian-esque Republicans with an irreverent demeanor.
