No matter how many satire tags I see on these posts, they just don't [i]seem[/i] like satire...
English

Just accept that satire has come to be used, and accepted, by the vast majority of the community here in a way that may not fit the dictionary definition of the word.

How does this not fit the definition?

I'm not arguing that point. I'm just saying that everyone crying "this isn't technically true satire!" needs to chill out.

And that makes it ok? Let's just change the definition of words because we don't actually mean that but want to use it anyway, sounds like a great idea.

You realize that language is fluid right? Just look at how Merriam Webster recently changed the definition of "literally".

Isn't it just a Brave New World we're living in.

Edited by loudenkl: 4/17/2015 6:19:21 PMReminds me of "[i]You keep using that word, but I don't think it means what you think it means[/i]" The problem that I have are the ones who use the satire tag as an excuse to post their raged filled rants - such as the OP. This OP's topic comes across as more surly than satire - as well as most of the threads that (in)correctly use the satire tag or even the sarcasm tag.
