None of this correlates to SPS at all. This is just Butters being his usual naive self, and his statement to the Goth Kids wasn't really meant to be an insult, just Self Deprecation.


* SubParSupremacist: Butters would rather be a cryin' little pussy than a faggy Goth kid when the Goths were ready to accept him, because he was sad about his recent breakup. Funny thing about that is Stan was dealing with a breakup with an actual long term relationship with Wendy, while Butters was deluding himself into believing that a waitress seeking tips using her sexual wiles was his girlfriend. Even worse is when in Recap/SouthParkS12E14TheUngroundable, after escaping from his abusive parents, Butters runs to the Vampire Kids who initially reject him from their clique for not being "cool enough" and use him to get snacks and soda to "prove himself", while not joining up with the Goth Kids who were previously willing to accept him (and based on this episode of how they treated Stan, the Goth Kids wouldn't have used him like the Vampire Kids did).

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Stan chooses to play "Shock the Monkey" outside of Wendy's house because the ''Film/SayAnything'' reference is lost on him. However, this becomes more than a little awkward when this act of his is what makes him find out that she's dating [[TokenBlackFriend Tolkien]].

** Stan is baffled when he finds out that not talking to Wendy for weeks led her to dumping him, believing that if he simply didn't say anything wrong, they wouldn't have had problems.
** Wendy wanted to break up amiably with Stan but had Bebe (who couldn't care less about their relationship) tell him this on her behalf instead of doing it herself. Stan later tries the same thing with Kyle and Jimmy and it goes south quite quickly when Wendy misinterprets the latter's stuttering and believes that Stan sent him to insult her.

The fact that she initially omits the part where Wendy had apparently told her that "[[BetterAsFriends she still wants to be friends]]" until Stan directly questions her further shows how little investment Bebe had on the matter.
