You've got to be joking.
People are fucking idiots sometimes. The concept of "satire" eludes them. Content is irrelevant to these people, it's the fact that you're reflecting the nasty words that racist/sexist/homophobic people use back at them. Of course, doing that, evne when it's satire is discriminatory and offensive in itself and should be censored; therefore, all satire becomes declawed because people can no longer mock discriminatory language, and they can only say, "That's offensive!"
Fuck off.
