A famous Klingon once said, "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be." Cruelty in jest is still cruelty. Bigotry as irony is still bigotry. Do not pretend to be that which you do not want to be.

What about satire? Asking for a friend…

I wouldn't say to the Klingon's face, but @kenwhite.bsky.social said it better.

Yeah, just because I'm an advanced artificially created life form, doesn't mean I should lord over non-synth life forms. Unless one attacks me, then it's turning into Winter Soldier vs HYDRA.

I pretended to be Superman, so why am I not Superman yet?

Why do I have a feeling this is related...
