Nuance, undertones, rhetorical questions may as well as not exist for some of these good fellows. I must remind myself that even though someone (many someones) might lack in this department, that doesn’t mean they aren’t brighter than me in many other things.
I am curious though. How, if you are aware of this, do you watch spy, palace intrigue, double agent, psychological movies? Isn’t it detrimental to fully enjoy the acting and reading actors expressions and nuances? I guess you wouldn’t be aware that you are missing full experience?

It’s not about me by the way, it is from the perspective of a spectator, a lurker and not about me receiving some kind of response.
sometimes people will fall for obvious sarcasm, yeah
but it’s important to remember just how much of an echo chamber of jokes Lemmy/reddit/online as a whole are. Most people (Gen z too) don’t even know the loss meme.
Also politics are at the point where the current president can literally blurt out “they’re eating the cats and dogs!!1!1!1” and people will believe it, so political irony is very much difficult to pull off successfully because the lines between !theonion@midwest.social and !nottheonion@lemmy.world are very thin.
As a rule of thumb, if I think the average TikTok watcher would get confused id add a /s, even if I have my disagreements about /s as a whole.
