PSA: If You Are Making Satire, Make It More Obvious

Im just tired of getting baited into being downvote fodder by a post that, somehow, everyone else knows isnt real.

Especially if it isnt posted in M&G. Just know that sarcasm is VERY hard to catch from basic text if its elaborate enough

But one of the goals of satire is to make a few people fall for it. The best satire only about 50% get it. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

If the post is getting downvoted because everybody else knows it's sarcasm, doesn't that mean it was obvious enough?

Are we talking Robocop levels, Demolition Man levels, or Dave Chappelle cosplaying Prince, with Prince using that on an album level of satire?

"Everyone knows that it was sarcasm and shit on me for not knowing."

"Make it so that everyone knows it's satire."

Alright.
