  • Stealth parody
rdfs:comment
  • A Stealth parody is a parody that is designed to look like a serious work of its kind, most of the time looking ridiculously extreme or absurd in comparison to other similar works. The authors of a stealth parody will usually flat out deny the fact that the work in question is a parody. Often stealth parodies are created by people with completely opposite views that the alleged parody contains, and the parody has been created to discredit the group that holds the opposite views, see Sockpuppet. Organisations such as Conservapedia and the Flat Earth Society are often asked if they are stealth parodies.

abstract
  • A Stealth parody is a parody that is designed to look like a serious work of its kind, most of the time looking ridiculously extreme or absurd in comparison to other similar works. The authors of a stealth parody will usually flat out deny the fact that the work in question is a parody. Often stealth parodies are created by people with completely opposite views that the alleged parody contains, and the parody has been created to discredit the group that holds the opposite views, see Sockpuppet. Organisations such as Conservapedia and the Flat Earth Society are often asked if they are stealth parodies. As defined by Poe's law and proven many times in real life, both stealth parodies are often mistaken for real works and vice versa.
