Here’s a link.

Does it fail as satire? Does this kind of thing work as good satire for specific people? Somebody explain.

I could never figure out how this kind of satire supposed to work.

Judging by the letter, it doesn’t. But then people think I’m ridiculous for suggesting that maybe dressing up kids as storm troopers or Darth Vader isn’t the greatest idea. So what do I know?

Yeah it’s like read the fucking subtext, guys. I get that it’s fiction but you’re dressing up as very literal space Nazis. What kind of person would want to dress up as a stormtrooper when you could be a Jedi, or even a Clone Trooper?
