Longitudinal studies reveal satire’s potential harms: 1) Normalization through repetition (23% increase in accepted extremism) 2) Desensitization to suffering 3) Weaponization against marginalized groups. Our Ethics Lab has developed “Impact Forecasting” models that predict a joke’s societal effects with 79% accuracy. The 2024 “Punching Up Protocol” provides creators with real-time risk assessments based on target power differentials.
