Don’t worry everyone, I’m sure someone somewhere is worse and that makes this okay somehow.

    Satire is not deceitful. You’re not meant to read A Modest Proposal and think rich people are eating poor babies. You’re meant to recognize the allegory and what it says about our real world.

    This post is not satire. It is meant to deceive you into believing it is a real photo.

      You’re being way too rigid and literal. That’s not how it is.

      This post is not satire. It is meant to deceive you into believing it is a real photo.

      Says you based on faulty reasoning leading to a seemingly willful misunderstanding of the point.

        You can’t lie to somebody and when called out say, it’s just satire.

        I’m not being rigid at all. You are changing the definition of satire so you don’t have to admit this post is BS.

          Nobody said that it physically exists. That’s a claim that you inferred.

          I repeat: nowhere in the OP or even in the comments does anyone say that it physically exists. The lie you keep complaining about is of your own invention.

            This is hilariously flawed logic. I’m guessing you know this and are just trolling now, so I’m gonna tap out.
