Yes he's correct for the wrong reasons, the tale is quite the satirical writing. thank goodness we can simplify it to drooling levels with a rage comic format

that's an interesting read on the story though. writing in a medium in such a way as to pass one message disguised as the opposite isn't a new concept, one such example being how a ton of popular music here in Brazil bypassed censors during the dictatorship from 1964-'85 to spread messages of resistance against the government.

edit: missed some of the wording. fixed now.

Not to mention the album cover with an asshole on it.

It's... The common read, isn't it? Like Voltaire's Candide?

That it's satire, sure, that those are the messages, no.

Well, the anti-religion angle, yes

Hmmm. I always thought it was about a donkey named Hotay.
