You know what I really like? When people use tags to denote sarcasm or just plain append any apparently ironic comment they make with "JK JK JK I AM NOT BEING SERIOUS I AM BEING SARCASTIC XDDD". And then go around informing people that they are "A VERY SARCASTIC PERSON". It's classy and efficient.
ohhh what was the topic of conversation again sorry I got lost in my wittiness.
But no in all seriousness, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, yeah I think the place of ironic humor in the arts and in human life is actually an interesting subject. That is, is it possible to forget how to be sincere, and to have sincere values, if you utilize sarcasm too often? I guess sarcasm is sort of the wrong word here, since it mostly describes like a statement or tone, something brief and temporary. But satirical art that has no detectable purpose besides making fun of stuff, or the common practice of embracing something (say, for instance Pokémon, or My Little Pony) for its inherent ironic and humorous value without actually believing in it? Are these dangerous to your integrity as a human being? Or is mockery through insincerity a fundamental part of being human? Is sarcasm a natural and ancient extension of humor or a relatively modern invention? Is this too many question marks?
