@femfreq@CalliopeAnim So satire doesn't exist anymore? That's definitely a bullshit claim if I ever heard one. -
@OdinSnivyGunner Of course it does. Frequently, though, it's just used as an excuse for trite garbage. -

@OdinSnivyGunner The Adam Sandler movie in production that the original tweet was referring to, for one. -
@CalliopeAnim Is that the only one? I've never even heard of it. You know what's good satire? South Park. That show is funny. -

@OdinSnivyGunner People often like to do "ironic" racism, sexism, transphobia, etc. and claim it's satire, only... -
