    As an ex-Redditor I do /s reflexively because I assume someone will always be offended. Welcome to the Internet, I guess.

      fuck em, that’s what i say.

      if they don’t get it, sucks for them.

      other tone markers I’m more likely to do tbh (/gen). some people do struggle to get certain things, and tone markers can help move communication along.

      sarcasm is supposed to be a facade. you dont fkin mark it!

        Something I notice a lot in asian languages is that the asian languages I do speak (Thai and Mandarin) are more situation dependent than english. It would be the listener’s fault to discern whether one is being truthful or sarcastic. I believe this is the other way around in most european languages. Bear in mind that this was something I learned many years ago, so feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

      Then just don’t write the opposite of what you mean. It’s not funny or witty or clever to write “Women should all just live in the kitchen, NOT.”
