[classic swim] Posted October 28, 2023 Posted October 28, 2023 Just because something is clearly satire, and you may agree with every single point made... doesn’t mean the satirical piece will always be funny and perfect regardless. Satire isn’t this magical bulletproof force shield that makes your shitty movie hilarious simply because it’s satire. You actually have to try still! 3 Quote

Expand I could almost excuse satire being flimsy if people were more honest and genuine about any shortcomings. I’ve interacted with folks who don’t believe it’s possible to have the same identity politics and still find the work to be flawed and non clever in the slightest. It’s enraging. What’s the point of even observing anything that’s satirical if you don’t allow yourself to question or critique anything you’re absorbing? 1 Quote
