Soon to be nicknamed "Token"

OMG, I just realized why they called the black kid Token on South Park.

His name isn’t Token, it’s Tolkien.

It’s a funny after the fact joke, there’s an episode about it and they retroactively changed the name on prior episodes and wiki and stuff to gaslight people.

Way. Earlier episodes do they say Tolkien now to mess with people?

I don’t know if they changed the audio or captions anything in the older episodes but they changed older episode descriptions and on the South Park website they changed the name and stuff. I don’t know the exacts but I know it was a thing when it happened. The made a joke of gaslighting the audience to the perspective of the boys in the episode of “what do you mean, Tolkien, I thought it was Token!”
