South Park’s 2023 takedown of what conservatives have branded as the “woke Disney” movement to recast white male roles in beloved film franchises with women of color was a massive hit with the anti-woke movement, who turned Kathleen Kennedy Cartman’s catchphrase of “put a chick in it, make her gay” into a rallying cry in their online culture war.
