- ineedasername 5y agoYes I should probably be more careful with an /s on some things. But that also seems to defeat part of the purpose of parody, automatically signalling that you don't need to think more about what I'm saying because I already told you. Sort of like explaining a joke makes it not funny (most times), signalling parody or sarcastic intent seems to dull the pointy end of it. The most extreme will say "yes, this person gets it, they're one of us!" But those a little further from that edge might take a step back and think "wait, is that really what I sound like, really the end conclusion of all this?" Anyway, I'm probably overthinking it.
- cutemonster 5y agoI've also been thinking a bit about that :-) And, it's happened in real life that I said something sarcastically, without indicating this, instead assuming the others would realize -- and instead they thought I was crazy. Maybe my voice sounded too serious
