Matt on Trey on Bloomberg Screentime:

On Matt's role alongside Trey: "He really is a true artist, capital A, Artist. And he's so talented, it kinda fucks people up, y'know? He can write, AND direct, AND act, AND write songs."

On Deep Voodoo: "The deepfake technology kind of, I would say, divorces the input and output of the performance. So it's like I can be you and you can be me...or Trey, who's incredibly talented and probably could just play every character better than everyone else."

On when Matt states that he'll hand over work to the AI assistant on his phone when he's 60/65: "I got a yacht! I'm gonna go get on my yacht! I don't have a yacht, by the way...Trey has a boat."

I'll never be over the way he loves and is in absolute awe of Trey...MY HEART!!😭💙💚

as a trans person, the episode felt like any other tv show trying to tackle the ‘trans’ topic. even though i don’t think most writers who make these surface level jokes are truly transphobic, i do think it’s lazy at best and hateful at worst. to me, i read that whole episode as an extremely badly written comedy about trans people because they probably know nothing about actual trans people/have never had a genuine conversation about the topic.

i might be biased, but i don’t think they’re actually transphobic, just ignorant. i’d like to think their opinions have changed as time passed since that episode but it’s more likely that they’re just as passively ignorant as they used to be (unless they have actually met a trans person and had a real discussion which i also wouldn’t be too shocked by).

this doesn’t change the fact that they have pushed this very shallow and bigoted idea of trans people, which i wish that they would take back in some way like how they handled the climate change thing but it’s unlikely

So, I was watching "Board Girls" episode and I don't think I need to say what I saw there. After finishing it, I decided it would be a good idea to read what people think about it and I came across the Reddit post titled "Do you believe that South Park promotes transphobia?" and while reading some of the responses (like 99,9% agreeing and only one person denying), I got extremely confused about Matt and Trey's stance. As a trans person whose a big fan of them, I feel a little groggy not knowing which side they are on.

Honestly, you're kind of my trusted source on them, since you've been following them a lot longer than I have and I want to make sure I know how they behave on this topic before creating a hasty opinion that makes me end up hating them. That said, I wanted to know what you think? Do you know something about them being covertly transphobic? I apologize if this was confusing, english's not my native language lol. Have a good day!

Hey,

First of all, I'm humbled by the fact that you're asking for my view on this, and your message is very clear to me and not confusing at all. English isn't my native language either, and I couldn't tell it wasn't yours.

That episode sure is widely considered transphobic. I guess the more people see it as transphobic, the more it actually promotes transphobia (as people often like to interpret things the way that supports their bias). To answer your question, I don't think there's evidence of Matt and Trey actually being transphobic. They have made jokes in the show in the past that would also be considered transphobic, but they've said a lot of stuff in the show in the past that doesn't represent their own views (that or their views have changed over the decades). More than transphobic, I honestly think they're just being thoughtless and ignorant when it comes to this topic, failing to understand how their middle-aged cis white guy jokes come across.

To me that episode was extremely poorly written and unenjoyable, but the way I saw it, it lacked trans representation completely. That was actually the problem. Heather was clearly not supposed to be an actual trans woman, but an abusive macho man taking advantage of the system and masking as a trans woman athlete as an excuse to beat up women. That was the joke. Had they included even just one actual trans person, just rolling their eyes and reacting to this bullshit, that would have done a lot to save this episode. The way it was done, it just lacked any message and only worked as a mouthpiece for actual transphobes, which I'm sure isn't how Matt and Trey intended it.

I mean, this is just my honest personal opinion and view on this.

half of the people who draw stan and kyle like mattrey in the 90’s are just doing mattrey fanart and are too scared to admit it

I was thinking about my ask about Matt and Trey hugging and it kinda does seem like Matt is deliberately avoiding hugging Trey. This is just a guess, I don't really have any info to support this hypothesis. But maybe Trey doesn't like hugging people in general?? Has he hugged someone else before?? I really don't know.

There's a huge chance I'm wrong but maybe Trey doesn't like being hugged so Matt is just respecting his personal space?? It would honestly give more context why Matt gave Trey an air hug instead of walking up to him and hugging him. The hug from Baseketball could be an exception and just him acting. But in social situations he doesn't like it.

I donno do you think this theory has any truth to it?

Ooh, hello again 😊 That’s an interesting theory, and it’s had me pondering all morning! (No worries RE: guessing, providing evidence. It’s fun to think about these things, and look for patterns, especially when we recognise that it’s all speculation.)

First, I’m not sure if Matt’s deliberately avoiding hugging Trey, though I must admit it does appear that way, and if the reason is he’s respecting Trey’s boundaries, I’m totally on board with that. However, there may not have been many opportunities for a genuine hug between them to be captured on film.

A few things come to mind that might contribute to not having visuals of M&T hugs:

Men often aren’t huggers 🤷‍♀️ That could be a sweeping statement, skewed through my cultural lens as a Brit, but at least in my experience, guys don’t hug that much.

The times we get to see M&T are often red carpets, appearances, interviews, documentaries, etc., and those aren’t really conducive to hugging. They wouldn’t hug in greeting, for example, if they’d already hung out backstage or spent the whole day together already. Those types of hugs all probably occur “off camera.”

We’ve got pics of them (most likely) drunk hugging/grabbing each other, so it’s not something they won’t do, but that could further support that hugging doesn’t really come up that often for them in their public appearances.

That being said, other forms of physical touch don’t seem to be off the table for them. As I mentioned in the hug post, they often rest their head on or put their arms around each other, which might contradict the theory that Trey doesn't like being touched.

Related: @behind-the-blow pointed out a moment (that I can't find right now, argh!!) in which Matt touches Trey’s arm as they’re walking onstage to accept an award. It might've been awkward if they’d walked up there and just hugged each other, but Matt's touch conveyed so much while also taking into account that they’re stood before a massive audience.

I feel it’s worth considering too how M&T get physically close with others (besides their partners and children, where hugs are probably a given.) John Stamos immediately comes to mind! I know next to nothing about this man, but he seems to exhibit some sort of gravitational pull that makes Matt and Trey more open to physical proximity. Perhaps that’s just how John is, so it rubs off on those around him. That gives weight to your theory that Trey might not like hugging in general, if it takes someone who's openly tactile to get him into that mindset.

I mean, look at this guy’s power!

There’s also this lovely pic of Trey with Andrew Rannells that lives in my head rent free.

It reminds me so much of how Trey cuddles up to Matt in some pictures. It’s physically quite intimate, but again, perhaps not as much as a hug is.

Again, I’ve rambled on 😅, but I definitely think there could be truth in your theory. I could also believe Matt isn’t into hugging, Trey isn’t, or neither of them are, or it's simply not something they’re comfortable doing in public, or it just doesn't come up very often. Either way, it'd make my life if we did get footage of them hugging!!! I've got my fingers crossed we'll get something like that in the upcoming Casa Bonita documentary!! 🕯️🕯️🕯️

i had a dream last night that matt was randomly followed by paparazzi and he fully ran away like jumping over trash cans, cutting through alleyways, all of it and he started getting papped way more often bc people thought it was funny to see him run away

in my dream, i was watching a video named “matt stone running away from paparazzi compilation” and i woke up this morning extremely disappointed by the fact that it wasn’t real
