If those "s were already in your comment, you shouldn't have needed it :/ satire on the internet is getting harder to make I guess

It's not just satire on the internet, it's satire anywhere. It is now very clear that a good proportion of the public actually are that bad, so it is hard to tell if the person making the statement is saying it satirically or is actually one of those people

While thats also true, Im talking about reading comprehension, not Poe's Law.

If you're using "s, it indicates that it's not something you're actually saying. You're quoting somebody else, including a hypothetical person that you're satirising. It's explicitly saying they're not your real words.

That's an issue of reading skill, and while we can certainly work to make writing more accessible for those that aren't great at it, I don't appreciate how people blame the writer for the treatment they receive for what is, at best, a mutual misunderstanding.

It's gotten bad enough that I can say in the comment the person I am satirising, and again in a concluding statement. But without the '/s', people still accuse me of being a monster for believing a heinous thing I deliberately used provocative language to describe.
