Like, real world as in they make direct references that only make sense in connection to the real world political singular thing in question and unless you know that specifically you won't get it, or in the general sense of making fun of a vague idea that is still fairly easy to grasp to. For comparison, the Purge line where she directly says "Pussy grabbing motherfucker!" obviously doesn't really connect unless you want to glue it to the real world event, but "The darkening" from Dark Crystal fits perfectly for a reference to climate change but ultimately is vague enough it could just as easily be attached to China's political party.
You're of course allowed to do either but obviously the former will alienate a portion the fanbase, how could it not? You either have people uninterested in that specific political sphere, people who don't agree with it, or people intentionally going to your fantasy world to avoid it, and now its been presented despite that, and as a result horribly dates it. Look back to any political comedy from 5 years ago and its staggering how little connects now, which of course makes sense because its a CURRENT topic, not a future topic.
