for many, getting the joke means subscribing to the group ideology. To get the joke, laugh and NOT participate on other rituals is treason to them. Yes they are dumb.

If "only joking" is not acceptable, then I and my circle of dramatically villainous Twitter follows and followers are shaping an in-group of *actual* villains? So is it all just liches, dragons, and tyrants until someone actually Moonrakers the whole planet?
