Fair in what way? South Park has always been about uncomfortable parodies of modern events.

Its a parody, there is nothing "fair" about it. Its meant to poke fun at events/topics that others find serious.

I think the episode was balanced and showed both sides of the story and that KK really just wanted to make good movies and got caught up in the panderverse.
In my opinion it was funny and was balanced.

I’ve only seen clips but it seems to have taken a shot at both Disneys pandering and also woke-rage, which would be normal for Southpark, they typically mock both sides of an issue.
Not sure if that’s true of the whole episode but sounds pretty fair in my opinion.

Or more specifically Randy's cure....Lest we forget Southpark's version of how COVID started.

It's 100% true... in the end.
It's their subversive nature to handle things that way where they apply the "when you point your finger at someone, you have three pointing back at you" after they've gotten buy-in from the audience they're applying that rule to.
Of course, by now, if people haven't figured out there is something wrong when they find themselves rooting for Cartman, I guess they're never going to learn.

I think it's fair insofar as it portrays a satirical and exaggerated version of Disney's philosophy when it comes to their content as of late ('put a chick in it and make it lame and gay'). The only thing I see as "unfair" is that all the other studios do the very same thing; Disney is just the low hanging fruit.
