- Trey Parker and Matt Stone talked to EW about the highly anticipated PS4, Xbone and PC exclusive South Park: The Fractured But Whole videogame

- on why you had no option to play as a woman in the Stick of Truth videogame Stone said:

I think John Boyega’s a great actor, and the cast in the new Star Wars movies are f—ing great. But there’s not really racism. I just don’t know how much racism there is on Hoth.

In Stick of Truth we got halfway through the game, and we had narratively come up with the big Girls’ Quest halfway through it. [The Girls] were a faction in the fantasy world. And then someone’s like, “What if you want to be a girl?” Narratively, it didn’t work. We’d have to sh– can the whole game. So we just left it the way it was. This time, we obviously wanted to add that.

- on how choosing to be a girl in The Fractured But Whole will affect the storyline by being treated differently:

But the boys are little boys, because it’s really a story about little boys running around. So they don’t care about [your character being a girl]? That seems weird. They always seemed to care about it in the show. Are they dumb about it, and they don’t know? So you’re in hiding? Or do they totally care about that, and totally treat you differently? So we ended up doing those things differently for different characters.

- on how South Park videogames may replace the TV show in the future Stone said:

I think in 20 years, 10 years, people will be playing more. That convergence of entertainment, whether it’s VR or a more immersive thing. The more you get in it, the more you watch Pew Die Pie, and people watch Pew Die Pie play, and you watch E-sports. You watch young people, and the way they engage with something – sh–, maybe that is the future of South Park.

1) Do you think it is ok for female characters to be treated differently in the context of a South Park videogame?

2) Would you mind the South Park TV show disappearing in exchange of videogame iterations in the franchise?

I like inclusion when it feels genuine. When you can be anyone or bone anyone with npcs having zero reaction to it whatever way, it rings a little false. So I like that you can play as a girl and that the cast may react to that accordingly.

"PS4, Xbone and PC exclusive"  seriously?

and i am really glad they dont have a female option, because what they said makes sense, they are just little boys and the way they act, the stories they would have, would be different if the character was a female. its not racist, its not sexist, the story just wouldnt fit or make sense. and i am glad they took that into consideration. 

in fact i wouldnt mind if they made the character exclusive to one race either, South Park has a lot of humor based on race, and even that could have an effect on the story, specially when dealing with a character like Eric. 

Seriously.
