Lol yes, thank you. I’m of the opinion that using /s defeats the whole point of sarcasm… But at the same time I suspect the world is going crazy via misinterpreted sarcasm on the Internet… It’s a tough decision, maybe I should be using /s but then it’s not sarcasm anymore…
I don’t think sarcasm is the problem. The bad actors are. In fact i think sarcasm is more necessary than ever:
If we don’t understand what is and IS NOT sarcasm, the opinions of bad actors won’t be laughed at. If they aren’t actively laughed at they’ll be encouraged by the idea that they’re being taken seriously.
If people don’t learn to recognize bullshit with friends(in a safe environment) then they’re going to fail to differentiate the truth elsewhere where it can truly hurt them and those around them.
People are complaining of having to stare at a female’s body while playing? They prefer looking at at male’s butt? That’s soooo gay!
Can we stop with this stupid and homophobic argument?

Have you considered that the comment could, in fact, be a joke?
Yes
Why the downvotes though!? This is GOLD!
His point is that making it a joke is kinda homophobic. Like being gay is a joke.
It’s making fun of idiots that think like that, not gay people.
