I don't want to have to say unironically before any/every positive feeling I want to share. GBS is kind of hosed in that any full sentence that praises something comes off as sarcastic. I like funny and I like GBS but it's awkward to want to post something affirmative and have to worry about the wording.

I know we talked about sarcasm tags in 2005 so maybe we can renew the discussion with some unironic tags since that's the less common posting theme now.

I unironically propose some unironic tags with a special styling to indicate sincerity.

actually i type the same way on SA that ive typed since the 90's on messaging services, but ever since the true powers of irony and shitposting were unleashed in 2013 i can really let loose my expression. it was stifled by necessity in the GBS of olde. Not gonna pay 10 per post

I find that people on GBS will take you at face value or not based on past experience, for example if I were to say "I hate all of you", it would not be taken seriously by most people

tbh i like the idea of forums irony because it lets me post frankly about personal things without arousing suspicion

so please read my posts as sarcastic, especially the ones about loneliness.

I don't mind ambiguity because I just take people's posts in the way that would make them the most funny/ridiculous/dumb to me, reality is a lower priority.

i prefer to assume everyone except a select few are dumber than me, and i am smarter than them, which is a transitive correlary of the first part
