    Tattletale Times is a satire news website I created, similar to the Onion, but focused on kids and parenting.

    Trying to find the website’s voice and it can be hard since when everyone see’s the Onion they automatically know it’s satire. When it’s a newer website with no recognition it’s more difficult.

    i used to put Satire in the post names but i got flak for that so just trying out all angles. let me know if you have any suggestions! thanks

      For what it’s worth, I could tell it was satire from the title, it’s pretty obvious

          Do you have a hard time with satire in general? I feel like this post is over-the-top in more ways than it isn’t.

            No, but I confess I did not read the article. The title looks like any other psychological click-bait.

      It’s pretty hard to tell these days when onion is too real and real is too onion. Parenting is a rough topic for this because there are plenty of parenting advice sites and communities that are intended to be real yet are so misguided it almost seems malicious.
