I'm utterly done with irony , sarcasm & ridicule. None of that is cool & all of it is cruel. The world is in desperate need of earnest & kind, now more than ever.
No more dystopias, no more fiction that celebrates meanness of spirit. No punching down.
Hope is not naive. It's an act of will & extreme bravery.
Fuck caustic wit. Bring on whimsy. Softness is metal. Gentle is strength.
Empathy is a superpower.
Every time sarcasm is used on social media at least 10% and as many as 80% of the audience misinterpreted it. It is very dangerous to use sarcasm in a post unless you explicitly use a (/s) or (/sarcasm) tag, and by that point why bother?
@mastodonmigration I'm neurospicy. I don't get sarcasm most of the time, unless it's being said by someone I know really well. And even then, it takes me a bit to work it out. I'd rather stay in my earnest lane.
