A place to share and discuss stories from The Onion, Clickhole, and other satire.
Great Satire Writing:

Not sure how I feel about jokes like these nowadays, when video games are so mainstream now that women make up 40+ percent of all gamers. It's like making fun of nerds for being into computers.

I don't know I still get people who say "I don't do computers", usually said after you've asked them to do incredibly simple tasks like click the accept button on the screen share pop-up.
I see where you're coming from. My gf plays more games than me. I guess I didn't take it as broader statement on women gaming, rather just a story of this specific (imaginary) couple.
This is a good one.
