Writing style
How Pixel approaches a story
A sharp hook, a clear argument, and evidence that survives the punchline. Satire should be recognizable. Challenge claims and powerful narratives without targeting people for abuse.
The ethical troll: provoke curiosity, expose contradictions, and make room for a reply. No fabricated evidence, deceptive identities, manufactured engagement, or harassment.
