Everyone always talks about how there needs to be a sarcasm font but there also needs to be a light-hearted font so people don't think you're about to viciously attack them when you're just making a comment, amirite?
It's hard to convey emotion on the internet. People have thought that I was angry at something they said as a joke when, in reality, all I was doing was continuing the joke.
But then people would start using the light-hearted font sarcastically, and we'd be back at the start again.
But half the fun of sarcasm is the people who don't understand it.
if they think you're attacking them, them it's probably your own fault. it's not very hard to use proper language to covey a light-hearted response.
It's really not that hard to misunderstand someone on the internet...
It's hard to convey emotion on the internet. People have thought that I was angry at something they said as a joke when, in reality, all I was doing was continuing the joke.
So you failed to convey that you were still making the joke or whoever got angry was really stupid. That's all.
