Let’s talk about it. I know there’s a couple people here who’re writing satires of stock fantasy novels, and there’s the good old Discworld. There’s satires of right-wing thought, the church, every school of politics, military, and in most cases a combination of several make for a better read than one overused and alone. I’ve been working on-and-off for a while on shredding the leftist media and student groups in a side-plot, but that’s beyond the point.

I guess I’m asking why certain types of satire are more acceptable than others. Whatever, answer it if you want or just talk about the nature of satire, I’m going out for a smoke.

goes out for a smoke

I dunno about satire, but I love me them satyrs.

I loved reading A Modest Proposal in high school, if only because only me and this girl I sat in front of actually got that it was satire when it was time to discuss it. Everybody else was various degrees of horrified while we both thought it was hilarious. I think it was because she and I are both of Irish descent. She had huge jugs, too. I should’ve hit that. But I’m getting somewhat off-track.

As for why right-wing things tend to get satirized more often, I would say A) they’re traditionally associated with the establishment, and satire tends to be an anti-establishment tool, and B) satire just attracts more leftists for one reason or another. This isn’t universally true, of course, and occasionally you wind up with Libertarian types like the South Park creators firing on anything and everything.

conservative metal bands are a rarity in comparison to liberal metal bands.

Wait, political metal?

I love Jane Austen.
