Now that's how satire works.
no, that is how a mildly amusing cartoon works.
Satire is defined as:
the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues
The OP contains the measure of 'satire' in which we are discussing. Which again is relabeled bullying.
Again, bullying to at least some degree is fine with me. Hypocrisy for the satirist should only be a concern if bullying is an unacceptable behavior in your social structure. If it is not, then know I am not speaking to you. I'm speaking to the satire loving d-bag who loves their daily show, but is one who will also jump on the 'it's never ok to bully' bandwagon.
