I'm sick of the oversensitive social justice "don't punch down" shit, but I agree with this to an extant. It's way funnier to make fun of someone who deserves to be made fun of, or to pick on someone who is good humored enough to laugh at themselves than it is to torture something for pure sadism.
What an objectively shitty poem. The meter is all over the place, the rhyme is forced, the syntax is pure dogshit. I can't believe people are actually proud to write this gibberish.
All of these greentext type poems have absolutely awful metre. Some are salvageable, but you're right that this one is total shite from the get go. Do anons not read this shit as they go, or do they mentally force the metre?
Satire is nothing but the rightful criticism of inferior people who present themselves in superior positions
No one gives a frick whether or not someone's "hurting" if that someone happens to be a dunce who's not capable of reaching his or her own perceived superiority
>Satire is nothing but the rightful criticism of inferior people who present themselves in superior positions
You can satirize virtually anyone no matter how inferior or superior they are. It's just a technique for humorously juxtaposing the absurdities of someone's position with your own (or the intended audience's).

The key point being those absurdities are only absurd from a given perspective which rules them out as something to be taken seriously.
I respect 1-on-1 face to face bullying. There's honor in that. Respect. It helps you grow into a better, stronger person. Fight back.
Cyber bullying or many attacking one is for losers.
But everyone making satire and laughing at satire thinks they're punching up. Because everyone believes they aren't the status quo, but a force of correction or progress.
Pratchett was just another boomer liberal that lived in a period where it was really fricking easy to have such passive, docile views and never live with the reality of them.
it's literally ok to bully evil people
evil people are people which are shithomosexuals in my personal (yet best achievable objectively) opinion, whether bastards in power or dunces with nothing
>Aristotle: "Comedy is, as we have said, an imitation (depiction) of characters of a lower type, -- not, however, in the full sense of the word bad, the ludicrous being merely a subdivision of the ugly. It consists in some defect or ugliness which is not painful or destructive. To take an obvious example, the comic mask is ugly and distorted, but does not imply pain."

good omens was good.
what a marxist definition. Terry Pratchett? more like troony Pratchett kek
His son is a troony kek predictable
«TERRY PRATCHETT»? MORE LIKE: «TERRIBLE PRATSHIT».

Trannies literally killed any form of satire.
>man in power is sensitive to having his feelings hurt
what now
Consider the following:
I like bullying
RIP Barclay
Barclay enrolled in one of my classes but never showed up.

Nobody actually believes this. I doubt anyone who posts this will defend bronies or incels from mockery.
Teachers of all people understand the benefit of bullying to wider society
>DON'T DISAGREE WITH ME ILL TELL ON YOU!
Actual freak lol
Card teaches at a private school in the Valley. They probably encourage LNP bashing over there
True. Hot girls have problems too, they're just like you, except that they're hot.
I understood that reference

Satire and comedy being politicized into right and wrong is worse than actual wars.

Pratchett is literally the most REDDIT writer I've ever seen. Every comment by him sounds like some shit on a popular sub with 10k upvotes.
>he dared to mock my overlord, /b/
How dare he
Looking at modern society, more people should've been bullied.
So why is it okay to satire incels and neckbeards? They're about the most powerless people you could imagine.
Have you read the rest of the thread?
People clearly don’t follow Pratchett’s advice
>now let me tell you about why poor whites have white privilege
i agree with the statement except the last two words
it's probably more like slapstick
>Satire is when I rationalize what I do and tell you what to do.
What did he mean by this?
What about people who cry out in pain as they strike you?

Doing bits?

Can I mock the BBC then?
No. (Impossible)
>people in power are never hurting
It's either that or the first part is irrelevant. Either way it's moronic.
