    Why couldn’t satire exist independent of politics? Not saying satire should never be political, just that non political things can also be satarized too.

      Can you come up with some examples?

      Also consider that most things have a political subtext even if the politics aren’t in bold in the text itself. For example, showing a hetero couple is political. So is showing wealth, private property, an endless stream of stuff.

        Ah, I see, we were operating with differently broad definitions of “political”. Looking at things with your definition then I agree with you.

      The moment anybody says anything people disagree with, it becomes political. Why don’t YOU stop characterizing gender and sexual orientation as political?

      Cause nothing exists independently of politics. There’s no such thing as non political satire.
