The Onion, of all sites, does not need anyone's excuses when they fumble a punchline. If people aren't sure you're joking - that's a bad joke.
I used to work with a guy that was like that. Older guy that was an agent finding me contract drafting work back in the 90s. I could never tell if he was serious or not. He'd say some real borderline shit, but eventually I realised, or just decided, that he was always joking, and reacted accordingly, usually by trying to extend the joke. Seeing The Onion header is enough to know it's a joke.

It's pretty much impossible to satirise US politics, isn't it?

This isn't a matter of "satire" versus "comedy." This is about bad comedy. This is... not... funny. People believe it. They had to check that it was not simply true.
By your overly simplistic metric, Idiocracy is no longer satire, Teach'.

I suspect you just worked with an asshole who thought you were a fellow asshole.
If the only indication that something's a joke is who's saying it, that's like people defending Dave Chappelle's anti-trans bigotry, because 'he's a comedian.' Like what makes it funny or benign is that he was onstage for an audience. Ha ha.
If satire has to be labeled as satire, it is shite.

Why is "by your logic" never ever followed by someone's logic?
You're an unpleasant tone-policing troll. You've never understood this conversation. Shoo.

Says the one getting pounded by downvotes. I'm all for you finding your inner power-bottom, but lying to randos online begins with lying to yourself, friend, and that's the travesty that keeps on giving. 🤌

My guy, even you thought he crossed the line. You actively chose to believe it was banter. That does not guarantee it was.
I understand what it's like for bigots to look at you and assume you're on their side. It feels friendly. It's intended as friendly. It's still bigotry. They're telling jokes - but they're not joking.

I never said he said anything bigoted or offensive. It was so long ago that I can't even remember exactly the sort of thing he said, to be honest, but I seem to recall they were more weird than offensive.
