The :/ face doesn't help it seem like a joke. It reads like you're genuinely upset about people misunderstanding art.

Text is a bad medium for conveying emotion.

To me, :/ has always been a fairly neutral expression, like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or 😐, I would have used :( to convey upset, but its certainly reasonable that others would read it differently.

I kinda hoped my other comments would have made it clearer, but again, text is a bad medium :( oh well
