I Miss Satire...

Posted by Kattlarv - March 11th, 2024


Like, I miss satire culture in general.

Sure, I'm glad some of it is gone.


But: The sheer amount of stuff I see and think: "Ah, that is some GOOD satire!" only to find out that: No... that was actually a documentary, or something, has me kinda floored. Kinda like the spiderman laugh, but in reverse.

I mean: It used to be okay to make fun of the people that voted for the "leopards eating people's faces party", especially when their faces got eaten. That was... kinda the point?


But, with a lot of places nowadays, it is somehow deemed as "harassment" to even acknowledge someone that faced the consequences of their actions. Sure, there are situations where it can be poor taste. But, I really wonder where things will be in 5 years or so. As the whole "You're making ME look bad by exposing the truth of my actions!" is already in high gear. And, anything that the truth makes look bad... that's not really an issue with the truth... rather the one who did the thing.


I've already seen several sites make it illegal to call out criminals on the site. (Such as art thieves, scammers, etc.)

And I worry where this will lead to. Both in terms of memes. But also just overall, quality of life.
