    Look man, I’m not the one hiding behind “You didn’t understand my joke on the internet through text which I was clearly being sarcastic, although, you would have no way of knowing that since it’s the internet, and sarcasm can be easily misunderstood, so ergo I am clever because you didn’t understand sarcasm… through text…” Like maybe if at any point you were willing to recognize that as an aspect of internet relations, it would be, but like I said, you’re just busy being a smug asshole for no reason other than “ha ha, I was sarcastic and they didn’t get it even though lots of people are actually serious about such thoughts.” You can’t get any more inane than shitting on people for that. It’s the internet, it’s text, you know this, yet still want to be a smarmy smug asshole who thinks you’re clever simply because you weren’t clear. That’s not clever, that’s just being an asshole to people engaging with the content as it was posted. “Ha ha I am so smart for being sarcastic and them not getting it in a textual medium where sarcasm is deeply hard to read” is the actual fucking cringe here, dude.
