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.

Do you feel that satire is an effective way to engage people with political issues?

 @9H6F42NLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

No Satire is not a way to demonstrates political issues as sarcasm should not be used when the issue is very serious.

 @9H6DWPWfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

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.

In what ways can satire offer a sense of solidarity or community in facing societal and political challenges?

 @9HSJN2Danswered…1yr1Y

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
