Ginger Kids provides some of the strongest evidence in the series that Liane is where Cartman learned all his prejudices. This little tidbit puts a lot of Cartman’s actions in a new context too.
First, the ending of the same episode (included in the clip).
Kyle: “You are such a manipulative asshole.”
Eric: “Yes, but I’m not going to die.”
The obvious interpretation is that Cartman was referring to the movement of ginger supremacists he started killing him with everyone else when they found out he was not ginger, but Liane’s bit adds some additional stakes. It’s entirely plausible that he could also have been referring to his own mother “putting him down” as the doctor suggested. She’s considered it before, as seen in the Cartman’s Mom is a Dirty Slut episode, and while Cartman is not made aware of her trying to legalize “aborting” him there, in this episode she very plainly seems to consider ending his life right before his very eyes.
We could also say that the ginger supremacy movement was an attempt defending himself, not only from the bigotry he started at school then fell victim to, but from his own mother. Securing power with an army of people willing to obey his every command would be effective in preventing a doctor from euthanizing him. Obviously, he’s starting the movement for selfish reasons even without that, but if we assume he internalized that interaction with the doctor, it raises the stakes immensely for him.
The second thing this sheds a new light on is the episode Tsst, where Cartman considers killing his own mother.
Cartman (internal dialogue): “Wait. Maybe I don't have the right to kill my mom.”
Cartman (externally): “No! She's my mom, I can do whatever I want with her! It's more important that I live the way I want!”
Now, in the episode itself, this is played as evidence of Cartman being a twisted little monster. But if we take the times Liane has considered killing her son into account... Well, turnabout is fair play isn’t it? Cartman thinks he’s entitled to kill his mother because he has evidence to believe she thinks the same about him and just hasn’t chosen to do it yet.
Nah, because they didn't even introduce Abel, THE Abel, but they created a completely new character, Colette, the love of Cain's life and then paralleled her with Cas.
As we wind down Pride Month pretty worse for wear, escape with us for a bit with our new episode! Debatable religious knowledge, fuzzy lore timelines, adorable Cas, flirty/devious Crowley, Colette vs Abel, the glory that is Timothy Omundson, and much more await! 💪🏻
