/r/satire
Satire is primarily a literary genre, but it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are ridiculed, ideally in order to shame individuals/society into improving. Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism.
Irony and sarcasm are common elements, but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are also frequently used.
From Wikipedia:
"Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.
A common feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm—"in satire, irony is militant"—but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve of (or at least accept as natural) the very things the satirist wishes to attack.
Satire is nowadays found in many artistic forms of expression, including literature, plays, commentary, and media such as lyrics."

We Are The Rothschilds
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 8, 2024
Introducing We Are The Rothschilds: The Debut Album from the Dynasty’s Most Unlikely Indie Duo
In an unexpected twist from one of history’s most secretive families, Rothschild descendants Davidina Rothschild and Nathanial Dee Neuf Rothschild (aka Nat D. Neuf) step into the spotlight—not with portfolios, but with power chords. Their debut indie album, We Are The Rothschilds, was released on November 5, 2024, and promises to be as bold and unapologetic as the family name itself.
Cousins, Bandmates, But Not Lovers Known for their on-stage banter and undeniable chemistry, Davidina and Nat D. Neuf bring their family dynamics into a creative light, delivering performances so fiery they joke, “If we were born a hundred years ago, we’d be mistaken for a Victorian vaudeville act.” Their unique bond channels into every track, a mix of sharp satire and raw honesty.
“We just want to be accepted for who we are—without apologizing for it,” says Davidina. And they don’t. Songs like “Born Rich” and “Dynasty Dreams” poke fun at privilege, mythologize their family history, and challenge perceptions, weaving historical accuracy with tongue-in-cheek humor.
The Tracklist: 1. Intro Genesis 2. Born Rich 3. You Can’t Be My Lover 4. Fun to Fund 5. Born Into Privilege 6. Dynasty Dreams 7. Golden Getaways 8. No Limit 9. Power Lies 10. Opus Outro
An Album You Can Bank On… Almost We Are The Rothschilds is more than an album—it’s a cultural artifact, offering a glimpse into the creativity of a family that’s usually cloaked in mystery. From satirical lyrics to self-aware narratives, this duo is redefining how legacies engage with modern audiences.
Listen to We Are The Rothschilds today—because nothing screams rebellion like a Rothschild with a guitar.

Stop TREATING MEN AS....
Men have been treated very poorly in the gaming sphere, yes I understand that many Millenials, Gen Xers, and Baby Boomers do not see the younger generation in good light. That aside, I think it still important for you all as the older and more affluent generation to be aware of what is happening currently because it will affect society.
Corporate America, taxes, laws, collapse of the nuclear family are all related and will be hit hard. The older generations such as yourself ask. We'll why is the population collapsing, why won't men step up, why won't no one join the military. The answer is simple, and that is that men are treated very poorly by society. And it leaks into gaming. So please watch this satire, and understand that it's a larger social issue not just a GAMING issue.
YOU ALL need to start doing something about it. Thank you. I hope this alerts you to action.
