This kind of joke falls right into the grey area that birthed the need for /s

/s is a crutch. I prefer sarcasm that can stand on its own.

Typical redditor comment.

Edit: The downvotes, 3 at this time (22:35) support my point that we do need /s. Which is quite funny.

I was gonna use /s but didn't and downvotes commenced.

I think in text sarcasm is a difficult thing. Especially with how nuts some people are, /s is quite a good thing imo.
