Milady Please do not take this in a negative way it is simply my personal opinion not a lecture.
I do agree with you that satire was a mark of skill in ancient bards, but I would like to tell you about the history of bard craft in Ansteorra. Early on we had Irish bards with sharp tongues, but then the bards of area that would be known as Ansteorra got together and talked about the values of our culture. Wasn't our game noted for seeking good not ill. We talked about the power of bardcraft to fix problems and the value of satire in that context. We knew in older kingdoms satire was very common. Yang of the Dark Horde and his group being famous for it. We talked to the Dark Horde members and discovered that instead of stopping bad behavior their satire was almost fuel for it. What we gathered was word fame was word fame whether good or bad and many people, especially those who did bad things, reveled in songs and stories told about them. The bards of Ansteorra decided to try something different. We would honor the good loud and long and say nothing about the bad. We would make silence a powerful force. Those who failed would have no tales or songs. They would be lost to future generations. We gathered  into the first Bardic College, The Queens Bards and swore an oath to do no satire. The years that followed had many a king and noble worried about why bards were not singing their praises and many a new leader follow the patterns we talked about. We found more and more to praise while other kingdom found more and more to mock. 
The Queen's Bards are gone. Destroyed by Kings who found them to powerful. My oath is still with me. I would ask the bards of this area to think hard before they do satire. It doesn't work in the ways we think it should.
