What Satire Is: The peasants from Monty Python ridiculing King Arthur by pointing out every single flaw in medieval politics and legends.

What Satire Is Not: Rape/trigger jokes.

What Depressing Satire Is: Bojack Horseman, a famous celebrity who lives in a mansion in Hollywood, going through life legitimately depressed.

What Depressing Satire Is Not: Rape/trigger jokes.

REMEMBER: SATIRE IS SUPPOSED TO RIDICULE THE POWERFUL BY SHOWING THAT THEIR VICES OFFSET THE POWER.

TL;DR: SATIRE IS SUPPOSED TO BE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE POWERFUL, NOT THE POWERLESS.

It’s not satire if the ones in power are mocking the powerless. My English teacher taught us how to correctly write satire
