Unfortunately it doesn't matter. Normies will buy it because that's what they do. Normies will defend due to sunk-cost fallacy and the unwillingness to be a social pariah among the message pushed from the zeitgeist.

There is nothing to satirise because satire is dead.

The trailer did nothing but exactly what the tweet and green test states: it presented real life in a fictional universe. That's it. It had no commentary, it offered no joke at the expense of the visual absurdity -- it was simply a presentation of the absurdity without comment.

In a better presentation without comment could, in itself, be an act of satire because of the absurdity. Simply seeing it would be enough to make one laugh.

Here, however, that is not the case. The presentation simply mirrors what ridiculousness we see in real life that is praised, promoted, and propagated by the establishment media. Twerking fat black women on ghetto cars is what's portrayed in music videos pushed by the same Jewish media that Kanye criticised and was called a "white supremacist" for.

Nothing in the GTA VI trailer pointed out to the audience that what they were seeing was absurd to the degree of being worthy of critical excoriation. Instead, it simply said, "here it is."

A lot of normies are coping hard that they took it as an indication that Rockstar was lampooning the degeneracy that is rife within Western modern culture, but it wasn't. GTA V's debut trailer did a much better job of framing its world through a tongue-a-cheek lens with narration from Michael. It set the tone and still managed to be humorous -- the illegal immigrants getting hit with pesticides while working in the fields, or the hookers lounging around nearby cars, or the drugged up bums under the bridge pass. The imagery was funny because it was ironic -- this lavish location filled with destitution. The land of opportunity filled with heartlessness and crime.

That wasn't what they showcased in the GTA VI trailer -- it was a celebration of the culture that has warped the mind of "modern audiences", and a presentation of the social contagion that the media has championed as "progressive", all done straight-laced and without a lick of irony.
