Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize
Archie Bunker is a great example of satire that just reinforced prejudice among the people watching All In The Family who were already bigoted. They donât see themselves or Archie as the joke. So ultimately youâre just giving air time to bigotry if your satire isnât both scathing and clear.
I donât know who youâre quoting, but itâs not me. I didnât make the joke and if someone were to be actually misogynist in my life I would speak up about it. This doesnât bother me.
I know itâs not from you, itâs a quote about satire in general. I posted it because it was relevant to the conversation.
I donât think just repeating misogynistic jokes without commentary and then blaming people for not knowing it was actually ironic misogyny and not ârealâ misogyny is effective at critiquing misogyny or beyond criticism.
Wether or not they get the joke doesn't change anything. Satire isn't going to stop a bigot from being a bigot. It's like those dumbass who are suddenly afraid of the okay sign. Like, they have you by the balls dude. They're bending you over and fucking you hard, and you're letting them. It's pointless. At some point you just need to say fuck it and live, because bigots are going to bigot no matter what who does. If a piece mocking them makes them comfortable enough to expose themselves, that's a good thing.
I'm not sure that is in bad faith, it's the essence of what you said. I agree I probably went too far by using *checks notes*.
I'm really not sure how any of it justifies making a joke they would make, and saying it doesn't count cause you don't actually think that. Why say it?
I'll fuck off now since my opinion doesn't matter to you don't worry đ
