I think it was satire

That's not what satire means https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire

[–] uthredii@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm —"in satire, irony is militant", according to literary critic Northrop Frye—[2] but parody, burlesque, exaggeration,[3] juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing.

I think seahorse was being ironic/sarcastic

Edit: Which means that yes, it's satire.

One feature doesn't make the whole.
A satire must also classify as art form, apart from that feature.
