The single most famous (or infamous) pastiche of them all, is the supposed "homosexuals manifesto", allegedly written by a homosexual outlining what their true agenda is - but in reality,
even in the first paragraph, states he wrote it in hyperbole, playing on breeders' fears.
And to this day, people accept it as truth.
Over the years here at FR we have seen satire become reality. The postiche of inflamed perverted libidinal excess has become normative. The trappings become the thing itself. This is the simple travesty of postiche that a foolish embellishment comes to define the underlying work. Excellent find, Sarge.
