I disagree with this. A comment like this can provide some amusement and joy, as well as legitimate criticism of people who unironically hold similar beliefs to the one parodied.

I know the HN guidelines have had a "no joke" recommendation but it seems rather humorless (obviously) and can deny some form of humanity, the latter of which is rather unreasonable.

Maybe you still get a chuckle, but after the same tired strawmans get posted over and over again it gets annoying, similar to all the low effort comments on reddit like "username checks out", "RIP my inbox", "came here to say this", or any number of the common copypastas.

Strawmans are not "legitimate criticism".
