this /s
I don't agree,
/sis immensely useful for neurodivergent people, some of which cannot recognize sarcasm at all.Also, really often something that is "obvious sarcasm" for you is a genuinely held belief by someone online. Nothing is too ridiculous for the internet
Maybe internet forums aren't the best place for people that can't recognize context.
Just because you don't care about certain groups of people who are not actively damaging for the world, that doesn't mean that they should be excluded from here.
As someone who is incredibly tone deaf in written conversation, please don't get rid of the /s. It really does help
I was going to post that you're lucky you included the /s, but I just realized we don't have karma so it doesn't matter anyways. Such a nice feeling...
Fuck that /s If you're unable to grasp context without it then just move on to a different discussion.
