Removed the example of Cartman in South Park\'s Family Guy episode. While the episode does take a mocking stance towards those wanting to censor under threat of violence, Cartman isn\'t exactly set up as a strawman. Cartman in the episode is more presented as a counter-argument about how when you let fear of violence control your actions/expression you open the door to exploitation. Also I hardly see how Cartman could be a strawman with a point when he was never sincere about said point (people potentially dying) in the first place.

Finally, both sides of the argument were pretty fully represented and the \\\"free speech\\\" side was fairly well-argued, so all in all this example doesn\\\'t seem to fit the trope at all.
