Satire is a type of humor. It can manifest as a literary genre, among other things, but at root it's humor. -- GreenC 19:57, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe there is some overlap between trolling and satire. Sometimes satirists create art or literature knowing that it will cause upset among a particular community that will come into contact with it. Wouldn't that also make it similar to trolling? Trolling requires intent of sowing discord. I think the article could be updated to show the similarities between the two. Trolling could be seen as a more degenerate view of satire.

Possibly - although it would be stretching things more than a little, I think. In any case to add it to the article we'd really need a reference, otherwise it would be WP:OR - this is an encyclopedia rather than a forum for new and original thought. --Soundofmusicals (talk) 23:02, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reynard the Fox is only mentioned in the early modern section, even though it was conceived and already widely popular in the high middle ages. I added a paragraph to the middle ages part talking about the work, but I am only familiar with the work in a dutch context. If other people could add something to it in the context of other cultures in europe that would be outstanding. 艾伯特芬奇 (talk) 20:39, 13 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
