That’s also the problem with any kind of forum that satirizes conservatives on the internet: sooner or later, it will get flooded with right wingers who completely fail to understand that they’re being made fun of, and who will start posting the satirized content in all seriousness.
Eventually, the original people who started the venue leave, and what’s left is just another right-wing echo chamber.
I’m sure they also watch Starship Troopers and completely miss the fact that it’s a satire.

I think it’s the problem with any good satire. It’s such good satire that it just becomes the thing it was caricaturiazing.
Isn’t that what happened with r/thedonald? I’m preeeetty sure it started as satire first.
Same thing with Robocop and American Psycho and Fight Club and Wolf of Wall Street and Taxi Driver and Wall Street and Glengarry Glenn Ross, etc.
