Talk:Satire

satire is humor

Satire is a type of humor. It can manifest as a literary genre, among other things, but at root it's humor. -- GreenC 19:57, 12 November 2017 (UTC)

Overlap of Satire and Trolling

I believe there is some overlap between trolling and satire. Sometimes satirists create art or literature knowing that it will cause upset among a particular community that will come into contact with it. Wouldn't that also make it similar to trolling? Trolling requires intent of sowing discord. I think the article could be updated to show the similarities between the two. Trolling could be seen as a more degenerate view of satire.

Possibly - although it would be stretching things more than a little, I think. In any case to add it to the article we'd really need a reference, otherwise it would be WP:OR - this is an encyclopedia rather than a forum for new and original thought. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 23:02, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Reynard the Fox

Reynard the Fox is only mentioned in the early modern section, even though it was conceived and already widely popular in the high middle ages. I added a paragraph to the middle ages part talking about the work, but I am only familiar with the work in a dutch context. If other people could add something to it in the context of other cultures in europe that would be outstanding. 艾伯特芬奇 (talk) 20:39, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
