Honestly, this is why when people say ‘do you need the /s tag, you baby?’ I’m like ‘Yes!’
People are dense and say shit like that unironically. It was hard enough back when all we had to contend with was the normal amount of sarcasm not translating well to text. Now we also have to deal with emboldened idiots who think their fascism is okay.
How the fuck are we supposed to tell the difference now?
At this point sarcasm does not work. It just makes them think you agree.

This is the unfortunate truth. We have to address it directly, sarcasm does not do it. They don’t have the self awareness for sarcasm to work.
