Satirists are not the mirror, they are the kids mocking the one pictured in the mirror, and are allowed to get away with it because they are liked/cool.
What is truly sad of all satirists, that they are, no better than those in whom they hate/mock, and don't even know it. Most of them don't/won't ever see themselves as the monsters they make others out to be. That what makes satire different than bullying. Bullies know that they are doing wrong, a satirist has been made 'morally right' by bullying the social dregs of a douche bag society.
In contrast, true compassion and understanding (What douche bags pretend to be) doesn't need a 'fun house mirror' to point out the flaws in other groups of people no matter how different or even backwards they may be. It makes allowances and can work around or even offer to help fix a problem, rather than just point out exaggerated perceived weakness in others. satirist seek out weakness to one end alone, and that is the exploitation of it.
You're suggestion that writers and cartoonists are worse than the vile fanatics who murder innocent people makes me physically sick, you make my fucking stomach churn.
You're relatively new here. Get used to it. This is what "compassion and understanding" looks like filtered through the prism of Drich's sociopathic 'moral' compass.
