    It is by definition not sarcasm. So it doesn’t need a /s

    Sarcasm usually involves saying the opposite of what you really mean. But it’s hard to infer from text so you add the /s

    I.e. the OC is soo sarcastic /s

      I don't think you've quite understood '/s'. The author was not serious with his post and indicated this fact with '/s'. By definition it is sarcasm as that's what the author defined it as.
