So what? There are many types of humour that I don't like. I don't get the obsession with trying to make sure everyone gets your joke.

Lol, i get that reference.

So? If someone who doesn’t understand sarcasm pops up and comments on my joke, I can always explain it to him; but putting the /s just ruins the sarcasm, you’re basically explaining the joke
I feel bad that some people can’t understand sarcasm, I find it a pretty funny type of humour when used correctly; but putting the /s doesn’t do any good, it just makes the joke no longer funny for the sake of avoiding misunderstandings.

Then the joke isn't for you. Try scrolling on and reading any one of the other million comments on reddit.

What joke
1
Precisely.
Sarcasm usually means there is a joke being made in the response. Sometimes dry humor. If you don't get it, then fine. Move on to the next thing. Not all jokes are funny to all people.

That's the fun in sarcasm tho

Yeah, people don't understand it. And people will miss jokes. Fuck the system!

Everyone misses jokes all the time. You should work on not feeling so left out over it.

You just missed one.

And I don’t understand Mandalorian references but I don’t insist everyone who makes them explain them to me

That's different. That's a tv show, sarcasm isn't a tv show.
-2
Ohh, sarcasm isn’t a tv show? Thanks for clearing that up for me.
And no it isn’t particularly different. People will make jokes you don’t understand. Asking people to explain every joke they make just for anyone out there who doesn’t get it is asking for a really annoying and boring online experience.

I think you forget an /S

No

No to not using /s? Yeah

If I put in obvious markers of sarcasm in text such as very little punctuation, all-lowercase writing, italic words, !!!1!1! or tradmark symbols, the /s becomes redundant.
I don't like /s because of this redundancy. There's so many creative ways to write sarcasm and if you think /s is necessary, you probably just think that sarcasm is saying something in a silly voice lmao.

There's also typing LiKe DiS sHiT

Irony is the silly voice. Sarcasm is something different. And trolling is something completely else.

Wait, what's sarcasm?

Sarcasm? Huh?

Right...

Good you agree.

Uh oh, they're going to have a pretty hard time understanding what people are talking about then.
3
Yeah exactly!

ITT: Fucking idiots.

Yup. I should have used /s.

I don’t understand sarcasm.

It's when you say something with a silly voice.

If someone says "Vaccines can kill you", you are obligated to question it's validity because this is Poe's Law in full action.
If someone says "Vaccines can cause dinosaur attacks" however, do you even need explaining?

See? Your sarcasm is so easy to understand. But I didn't get it at first.

If someone says: yeah I live on the Moon, do you really need /s to understand that isn't the case?
I have a feeling that OP is the /s, and we're the potatoes for believing he is genuine
But then again, calling your fuckup "satire" after you've fucked up big time is a copout I've seen too many people do time and time again, sooooooo
Poe's Law
Probably not, but for less obvious ones yes.
Yes
