The Onion writes an 'interview with J.K. Rowling'. Satire as written by diversity hires. (twitter.com)

You can say “diversity hires” but this again screams “female humor”. It’s the snarky “I’m better than you” with no intellectual capacity to back it up so the entire thing becomes a convoluted self worship where they have to denigrate the target to a moronic simpleton to feel superior.

Women in comedy would be diversity hires though, because female humor is a contradiction in terms in 99.99% of cases.

I just know one thing. There is not one funny atom in this creature's body.

The best thing is that they actually make J.K. Rowling sound rather cool. Not even because of her opinions. The boundless confidence, ready answers, it's as if you're talking to Olenna Tyrell (GOT reference, pls no bully).

FYI I was inspired to re-write this whole "interview" except funny, for this sub: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/16aT3EHq4r/

it reads as if it's written by some butt hurt leftard activist who doesn't understand what sarcasm or parody or satire is. all leftist "humor" is like this, not just "female humor". your second sentence is spot on though -- it's a seething hatred that happens when a narcissist is confronted by a higher power.

it's also why they have to write memes that you need to zoom into full screen because the font size is so small so they could fit their 500 word essay into a single picture. their own position is so delusional that people cannot arrive at the same conclusion without being browbeaten into it.

prime example... their accusations of trump being racist consistently required an entire video or article to try to frame it as racist, in contrast to the literal compilation videos of just biden saying facially racist things.

The Onion is a running joke, they just push the same lame anti-Trump jokes that we were forced to sit through for years.

The really funny thing is seeing leftists defend it though despite it getting so obviously terrible, like SNL. They need their propaganda.

Unreal. I used to love the onion (nearly 20 years ago) for its dry and witty humor. It was laugh out loud funny to me which is hard as I'm a comedy addict and can only laugh hard at things like Nathan For You.

Reading that was shocking. Its like birthday card level humor. This is what politcal humor is like; feeble morale boosting for those with the 'correct' politics. At this point the left are really just criminals with major anxiety of being caught and so they brazenly just lie and gaslight and bullshit because they've done things they can't come back from.

There was nothing funny or clever about that fictional interview.

It's like a troon wrote it while seething, coping and dilating.

First - I'm shocked that the Onion still exists. I thought it went the way of the dodo about 5 years ago.

Second - Sad that they went woke. Or at least Woke adjacent. Looking forward to it going broke.

Don't you find it hypocritical to publicly attack a marginalized community when your fortune and fame comes from books that champion a bullied outsider?

Men? Boys like Nick Sandmann and Kyle Rittenhouse?

I'd be very anti-Harry Potter if he were a real person.

We know.

No, I was busy that day protesting a 13-year-old wearing a skirt. raping his classmates and getting away with it because the school board wants to do the same thing.
