Okay, you're both coming off as extremely ignorant. Firstly, South Park is aimed at an older demographic and not at impressionable children. Mike is supposed to be taken seriously, we were supposed to root for him, we were supposed to enjoy his story. Don't give me any of this "but it's a parody show!" crap because, let's be honest, their intent was not to parody DID and even if it was, that's equally as disgusting as the mess we have now.

The difference between South Park and Total Drama is that South Park is supposed to be ridiculous and the people watching it are old enough to know that's not what DID is. South Park isn't intending to portray the disorder accurately, Total Drama was. Furthermore, it is offensive because people who do suffer from the disorder (or any disorder) have to constantly be reminded now that this character existed, someone whose issues were trivialized and mocked and made into a total joke and then, in the end, we were all told that it disappeared via the power of love and a reset button. That is gross.

Respect lost for both of you, honestly. I don't see many people nowadays who still try to defend Mike but when I do, I just completely shut them out because that is just awful. You see hundreds of people offended or put off by this character and selfishly decide to say "ugh, they're just overreacting, he's not offensive at all" because neither of you can look past your own self-regard and realize that people are offended for a reason. You both have decided to write off everyone's concerns as irrelevant because you view yourselves as more important, and that's what's gross about Mike defenders.
