Can satire go too far, and if so, where do you personally draw the line?

Satire should only be used in appropriate settings and I draw the line at personal and sensitive topics such as one's health and family.

When it gets too aggressive to the point where it's harassment. Not everyone has the same perspective. So if someone can't take a "joke" you should not be considered in the wrong

I don’t think Satire can go to far. It aims to make a social commentary. It does not claim to hold a moral high ground. It’s just making light of life with a hint of comedy.

satire is an extremely powerful tool to provide a moral lesson with a didactic purpose

Not really, I may not find it funny however freedom of speech means it doesn’t matter what I find to be good or bad satire

Satire is someone’s opinion. Sometimes, they don’t even believe in that opinion. So it is our job to see if they are joking, or are not and actually believe in it. If they do, we should observe, learn, and understand their opinion and try to respect them. If it is the former, then it’s a joke. As long as they mean no harm, then it is fine.

I believe that Satire is fine as people should have the common sense to see the exageration used in these instances.

Satire should only be used in appropriate settings and not personal and sensitive topics.

There is a very fine line between funny and joking and mocking.

Satire can go pretty far in many cases especially through social media. I think there's one way in joking around once or maybe twice but continually using satire at the expense of yours or someone else disrespect is when that line is by far passed.

No, freedom of speech, and you can choose what to listen to

I think that satire is fine, but people use satire to excuse their blatant hate. For example you can say something extremely hateful in a joking tone and you can excuse accusations as people being offended by jokes or say that you didn't really mean it.

Yes, satire can go too far, especially if it is not made clear that the speaker is using sarcasm. If the rhetoric promotes violence, hatred, or disrespect - or encourages people to take physical action that harms others, it has gone way too far.

In the topic of satire i draw the line at racial religion and terroristic prejudgestice

In a way it can go too far that that opinion can then affect someone differently.

Satire can go too far when people are trying to benefit themselves. It is ok to use satire when trying to influence other people to think the same as you.

I think some people can take it to far, and can take it to heart

very subjective question. i dont really know where i draw the line since i dont really care

I believe that satire can go too far. There are certain topics that require sincerity, which satire does not provide, and it can unneccessarily aggravate and provoke other individuals who expect common courtesy and decency from others. Satire is applicable in some but not all cases.

Yes it can go far, it should only be used in appropriate setting, not personal or sensitive topics.

I think satire will not be able to go too far but I will draw the line at a truth.

Satire can go too far if it has to do with race. We need to stop acknolodging race and make the new generations racially blind.

When the fault of a person is beginning to harm them mentally.

Satire should be used to prod at the powerful. If it's being used as a weapon to punchdown on the weak, then it isn't satire: it's hate

I think satire can go too far, and I think you shouldn't make satire content on things that don't directly effect you.

It is too far when it begins to have real-world consequences like if someone says something out of satire but a crime is committed in response then that satire went too far.

i believe the moment it becomes belittling especially over things they can't control it crosses a line.

Nowhere do I draw the line, South Park is super funny.

I draw the line at people literally shaming women for whatever they were, really

We have the freedom to say what we want, however people should be more vigilant of how comedy and information are merged. If something is playing on "satire", yet claims to be commenting on "truths", ask what the punchline is.

Yes, I think Satire could go too far as to say that; people could historically laugh without taking offense towards any joke that goes within their personal life, or just telling jokes about tragedies that happened in the past 10 years.

So I think that Satire could go as far as to say that, offensive jokes or "Jokes" that talk about tragedies in the past 10 years could not be taken as a joke but instead taken as an offensive argumentative statement

Yes, satire can go too far, I usually draw the line at family and friends

When satire goes too far and becomes harmful to another person.

satire is important for calling attention to issues, and should not have a line drawn

When it comes to dead family members and being racist towards black people specifically it’s a problem

I think satire should not be use when it is inciting violence to a specific part of society or a direct ideology. But when it is used to express ones ideas it should be respected because we live in a free speech society.

Satire is a powerful form of expression. And it shouldn't target individuals based on race, ethnicity, religion, or gender.

If the satire loses its element of what makes a satire, which is poking fun, or mocking, then it becomes more of a statement.

Defaming satire by a mainstream politician or media personality that may actually cause harm to one's livelihood or insite mass public vengeance demonstration should be considered an illegal offence.

if it's a 9/11 joke and the joke is about it crashing and burning

Satire is protected under our first amendment however if it is being used to defame someone then strict scrutiny should be used to evaluate whether their right to publish or speak satire can be limited.

When you spread misinformation, UN recognized hate speech.

i think it can, if its hurting others wellbeings it is too far

Satire can go too far and can potentially be detrimental in modern society. Such criticism can also harm a politicians, reputation or destroy a certain project from developing.

It can go too far when it is of really bad stuff like current wars or of things like the Holocaust and other genocides

Yes. I draw the line at joking about another's traumatic situation and jokes about any kind of abuse.
