Can satire go too far, and if so, where do you personally draw the line?
@9H98FRN11mos11MO
If it starts to target a group of people negatively and it start to c ause people mental or physical harm then it should be stopped immediatly
@9H6D3C411mos11MO
I think that satire cant go to far you just have to not be soft.
Satire is meant to be funny and not taken seriously. It's for entertainment purposes only. It only goes too far when the viewer takes it too far.
@9HBBRVPNew Democratic11mos11MO
I believe satire does go too far. I draw the line when it is towards religious beliefs, race, and things that people can't control

Do you feel that satire is an effective way to engage people with political issues?
No Satire is not a way to demonstrates political issues as sarcasm should not be used when the issue is very serious.
@9H6DWPW11mos11MO
Satire is a more light hearted way of engaging people with political issues and rather than making them fearful of current situations. It is also for entertaining rather than serious which can help people stay calm in most situations.
@9H6FW7Z11mos11MO
No, because political issues are serious and can decide a person's future.

In your experience, does satire help to surface hidden biases or prejudices that might otherwise go unchallenged?
@9J33NQB10mos10MO
Yes of course it does because mockery allows individuals to realize flaws and be enlightened through a distinct variation in expressing a perspective.
@ISIDEWITH10mos10MO
Describe a time when satire made you uncomfortable but also made you think critically about why you felt that way.
@9J33C4F10mos10MO
I love satire, I make the joke that women shouldn't vote all the time.
@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
If satire vanished tomorrow, how would its absence affect public discourse and our ability to tackle challenging issues?

@ISIDEWITH11mos11MO
In what ways can satire offer a sense of solidarity or community in facing societal and political challenges?
@9HSJN2D10mos10MO
The side-effect of teasing is that it humanizes and draws sympathy for the powerful individual towards which it is directed. Satire instead uses the comic to go against power and its oppressions, has a subversive character, and a moral dimension which draws judgement against its targets
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
