    2. @merrytiffmas I know you're being satirical, but remember those conversations we had about Poe's Law?

            1. @merrytiffmas Remember that episode of Steven Universe where Steven makes that shirt to advertise for his dad's guitar lessons, but then Buck gives him the idea to make the shirts a sort of disingenuous novelty comedy item because to him the sincerity behind the sentiment of the shirt is irrelevant? And then the result ends up being that Steven's attempts at advertising fail because no one goes to Steven's dad for guitar lessons as he's become nothing more than an ironic talking point for them? Think of the joke here like that. The satire is not actually concerned with the conversation of extremism, it's just a parodic abstraction of it that can be viewed as being just as distinguishably mean-spirited, regardless of intentions. So it can just as easily hurt people, potentially.
