South Park has revealed its latest stab at controversy with a story focusing on Cartman becoming skinny after taking a weight loss drug, and the fans already hate it.
The first look at the new Cartman design was revealed In a post on the officialSouth Park X/Twitter. Fans got their first look at a skinny Cartman from the upcoming South Park: The End of Obesity special, which takes a shot at the currentOzempic weight loss trend.
The special focuses on a “new weight loss drug” that takes South Park by storm. According to the synopsis, “When Cartman is denied access to the life-changing medicine, the kids jump into action.”
While some fans are just excited at the prospect of a new South Park to watch, many are having trouble with the new Cartman and are expressing their hatred of the look.
“Delete this. I was not ready to see skinny Cartman,” one usersaidin response to the tweet.
“Seeing cartman skinny is cursed asf,” another usersaid, while othersdrew comparisonsto Skinny Cartman from the Season 4 episode Fat Camp.
There are still others who refuse to take this at face value, too. Many assume the image will be a swerve, with the kid in question being someone posing as Cartman, or while others think the special will still end with Cartman being reset to the status quo.
“Lemme guess… at the end Randy gives him Tegridy weed then he gets the munchies at KFC and regains his weight then Kyle calls him a fata** and Cartman says I hate you guys,” one usersarcastically commented.
