People who need tone indicators aren't stupid
Not at all -- it's the people who use /s that are dumb.
Correct. They’re merely cognitively insufficient to successfully model the minds of the people they talk to.
Neurodivergent people exist, and they deserve respect too.
Not only neurodivergent people need the "/s". Not all subtle speech cues are easily transmitted through text.
Accessibility features help everyone, not just the disabled.
Agreed
You shouldn't need speech cues to simply not take anything seriously.
And it is not even only neurodivergent people where /s is helpful. You dont hear the tone of voice of people in the internet which is used to indicate sarcasm irl. I would rather use an /s than people misunderstanding what I wrote abd maybe them thinking I am some kind of conspiracy idiot
I’m a neurodivergent person, and I love sarcasm because I’m not a stupid neurodivergent person.
Good thing poes law doesn't exist forcing us to be more explicit about what is and isn't a joke.
Poe’s “Law” is a simple self-fulfilling declaration that communication has failed. It’s not even a postulate about the nature of reality. It’s a declaration that we give up.
To call something like that a “Law” is ridiculous.
Declaring that confusion exists is a way to create confusion.
Nice.
Nice originally meant stupid in English.
You tried too hard to sound smart here I think…
"they're merely cognitively insufficient" fucking 🤓 nerdass, go back to reddit with these reddit-ass insults
