South Park’s Manbearpig as a personification of climate change is technically interesting to ponder for writers.
The 180 degree pivot from satirical to insight-seeking construct is kinda intriguing in literary-invention terms. Any other such examples? Cc: @EvanBThomas
Neat examples! Hmm. Brogrammer started as a joke, turned into a slur with actual referents, and then into a sort of reclaimed aspirational archetype. Hmm, there’s a sort or ironic bootstrapping here. Fake it till you make it but for irony.
