Third, I would argue our society needs more “mockery” of everything, all the time. If you are never mocked, criticized, questioned, drilled for what you believe in, you never get any practice critically analyzing your own beliefs from the perspective of others, or responding to such criticism.

Second, by saying that mocking a community is “punching down” in the same breath as including queers and autists, you imply that any group that contains queers and/or autists is off-limits from critique. I own a for profit business; do business owners merit the same blanket protection in your eyes?

Hi, I’m autistic. First, not every community that “overlaps so much with [insert group name here]” is inherently good or better or safe from analysis just because [insert group name here] is a part of that group. Note: not saying anything about furries.
