    parodying them

    Bad idea. You know how awful right-wingers are when it comes picking up on this sort of thing even when you think that there is simply no way anybody would be stupid enough to take it at face value, and no matter how explicit the 'parodying' nature might be.

    You start parodying them and, next thing you know, the place is full of people who genuinely believe in whatever you are making fun of, they far outnumber the original userbase and have turned the place into a hotbed from which they are able spread their ideology, and the whole thing ends up unsalvageable barring an extensive purge and re-structuring.

      'parodying' as a verb on this site came about from the following kind of sentence:

      We should kill slave owners

      getting self-censored to

      We should [PARODY] slave owners... in minecraft

      When someone is referring to actual parody they typically call it a 'bit'.
