The parent post from jff was explicitly framed as "real vs satire" and not as "satire vs not satire".



It used the word "real", but I'm pretty sure it was a synonym for "not satire", not the more philosophical meaning that callahad took. It's very common to use the word "real" that way, for something that isn't just extant to demonstrate an idea.
