I think if it's obvious satire as part of a satire show or magazine, for example, there shouldn't be something like limits.
However if someone just randomly drops what at first looks like a hate speech or something similar and later on defends themselves by saying it was merely meant to be satire, it's at least questionable in my opinion.
But what do you think?

No. Hate speech shouldn't be banned. The term "hate speech" should be banned. If people are saying bad things, they will alienate themselves. Otherwise don't listen. People need to be offended more than ever in this overly sensitive culture.
