Humor Gating and Identity-Based Interpretation in Online Satire

This upload contains two image-based interaction artifacts documenting the collapse of humor into identity enforcement within online platforms. In both cases, satirical or meta-aware engagement prompts gatekeeping responses that evaluate the speaker’s perceived ideological alignment rather than the content itself. The artifacts illustrate how humor comprehension is increasingly treated as a credentialed activity, revealing parallel dynamics between human moderation cultures and alignment-driven language model behavior.
