It's satire of the forum trend of declaring that "X will kill Destiny."
-
And that isn't satire, he's just mocking something. He isn't proving a point by it.
-
Uh, satire is used to mock others' stupidity. By acting ridiculously in the logic of such idiots who claim Destiny will be killed by another video game, he is literally mocking the stupidity of those individuals.
-
But he isn't proving a point to the idiots that post that something will kill destiny. He's just saying something that is less likely to kill destiny then the other things.
-
Look up the definition of satire and come back to me.
-
an absurd misrepresentation or imitation of something. "after a mockery of a trial in London, he was executed" synonyms: travesty, charade, farce, parody "the trial was a mockery" This is mockery and what he is using
-
Parody: an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect. "the movie is a parody of the horror genre" synonyms: [b][i][u]satire[/u][/i][/b], burlesque, lampoon, pastiche, caricature, imitation, mockery
-
Synonyms are similar or exact, and in this case it's similar
-
We both clearly see it as a mockery, but you seem dead set on refusing it being synonymous with satire.
-
Agreed
-
the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. Read the last part and tell me what his post bad to do with politics and other topical issues
-
Emphasis on particularly. It's simple reading comprehension. Particularly means more often or more specifically, but not limited to.
-
It meets the requirements of mockery, not satire.
