That's not the point of sarcasm. Do you even know your linguistics? Sarcasm has no point - No tonal conveyance really does - but if you wanna get theoretic with it the point of sarcasm is to deliver critique without the sting, or to subvert expectations and deliver a joke. There isn't a lot of methods of communication were the point of it is to be hard to understand - though some methods are of course used to carry dual meanings to different audiences.
Course it is...
sick comeback bro
Thank you.
And there's the humility again, you really are capable of growing as a person. I'm proud of you! (tone clarifier: I'm still being sarcastic)
No shit.
Dude, so sarcasm isnt meant to be got so easy, at least not by everyone. Take your own advice....LEARN.
It just seemed like you were having a hard time, so I decided to help you, because I'm such a nice guy!
Your comebacks are getting worse btw :(
Obvious sarcasm is obvious.
How can my comebacks be getting worse when I havent put any? Only sarcasm....
they're really boring now :((
Cheers for introducing me to Hexbear.
enjoy your stay, you should probably learn about tone signifiers and other neurodivergent inclusive initiatives
Im fine with both.
Ill try not to be so deliberately sarcastic people dont realise its sarcasm. Why dont you grow and learn that people do do this?
Yeah that's totally what I meant good on ya.
LOL. Lets not forget it was you that didnt realise I was being sarcastic and had a hissy fit over it. Are you American or Canadian? One doesnt get sarcams and one really doesnt get sarcasm.
Dude, I never didn't get it, I kept the joke going. Do you still not get it?
Neither
Fuck sake, Ive been played.
Bamboozled even, I kinda thought the old-schools smileys would make it obvious
Not the first time someones told me my sarcasms wrong cause they didnt get it dude. Learn. And grow.
Seriously though, will be checking out Hexbear.
I refuse to learn. My mind is perfectly smooth, free of nasty wrinkly crevices or filthy neurons firing wildly.
You should refrain from using /s though, but tone signifiers are never a bad thing! It's a weird double standard I guess.
It’s a fucking minefield mate. All the best.
