In cases where the /s tag is used instead of sarcasm being interpreted successfully, there’s no mechanism to determine how well bonded and ready for complex communication a group is.
It’s similar to banter, where one insults one’s friends in good fun. It’s a readiness test. The guy who gets insulted by your banter isn’t ready to communicate at a complex level with you.
Same for people who can’t figure out when you’re being sarcastic.
Misinterpretation of sarcasm is a canary in the coal mine, an indicator that complex topics aren’t going to be successfully discussed here, because there’s too much misinterpretation happening.
Sarcasm is incredibly difficult to interpret over text unless you personally know the person doing it. That’s highly unlikely on the Internet, and honestly it’s just an easy thing to do to ensure people that have difficulty interpreting tone through text can be included. To me, removed about tone indicators is like removed over subtitles. It’s not meant for you.
Well no, because the /s tag isn’t symmetrical.
