MODERATORS
The unfortunate result of this "requirement" for creators to clarify their position such that everyone consuming the work understands that it's satire, is the complete and utter loss of subtlety. Because now you're just dumbing down your work to the level of the slowest kid in the classroom who, as the last decade has proven, is in fact very slow indeed. It would be one thing if bigots were known for their intellect and media comprehension skills, but alas...
Call me a brunch liberal or whatever but this whole mindset makes media boring. It's for people who think of art as propaganda more than self-expression.
Don't dumb shit down for literal Nazis. Honestly I might go ahead and say all it does is give them more things to point to to say "WOKE MEDIA IS BAD." Because stuff written like this really does blow.
