Re: OP

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, that's true. But I think the issue of whether or not it works can be considered separately from the issue of whether or not Scalzi wrote an undiverse cast because he's not very socially enlightened or because he made a deliberate choice to do so in pursuit of a parody. I'm not saying he succeeded in writing successful satire, I'm saying that he was attempting it.

Re: OP

[sarillia]

I agree that those are separate issues. At this point I just have kind of a kneejerk reaction when people immediately start declaring that someone has missed the point instead of acknowledging that there's an argument to be made for whether the satire did its job or not, which you didn't do exactly but your hypothetical example you used to illustrate your point mentioned it.
