I'd really like to talk with a political satire expert about what has happened to the concept of satire in the last 10 years or so.

Like, how someone (ie: the President) can post something very racist, transphobic, bigoted or just generally awful (ie: an AI-generated video of him in a plane marked "King Trump dropping shit on people) and people (ie: The Speaker of the House) will defend it by saying that it's satire.

This being a part of the wider discussion of the "it's just a joke" culture, primarily among the right/conservatives whenever they say or part something offensive.

i'm reading a tiktok ( wigglywobblytimeywimey is the creator ) that goes into detail about the time period that jinu is from and the way that morality is taught.

okay, so during this particular dynasty ( jonseon ), the king's word is law. NO ONE was allowed to bring their family to the king's palace, not even high ranking aristocrats ( yangban ). the only people allowed and invited to the palace were nobles, officials, and court musicians ( like jinu ). if jinu had angered the king by disobeying him and insisting his family come in, jinu's actions would have translated into disrespect by the king and possibly even be counted as treason. the most likely punishment would have been the king ordering society to reject jinu, which would have made things worse for him and his family, which he ( again ) would have blamed himself for. and in the palace, he was more than likely under extremely close watch and unable to contact his family as they are considered commoners.

however, due to the way that morality was taught under the confucian principles, he would have felt guilty for being forced to make the "wrong choice" and not follow the principles of taking care of and honoring his family, no matter what. now, WE can see that jinu essentially had no choice but JINU does not see that due to the way that morality was viewed during that period.

this creates someone who is deeply troubled and carries a lot of guilt thanks to the morality that teaches a person that they are always the worst. g.wi-ma twisted all of this and used for his own purposes. it's also probably a huge reason why he was able to claim so many souls during this particular period.
