- the rapist, arguing against abortion rights.
this guy obviously got a lot of downvotes, so i don’t want to associate myself with that, or even stick my own neck out... because what's the benefit? maybe i also get a bunch of downvotes? it makes me feel very sketched out. especially as someone who has had to mask their whole life, i have a hard time doing this in public.
but, i think he was joking/sarcastic. i could be wrong, because i am bad at reading social cues... but i've also spent a bunch of time practicing at it, and we people have a hard time detecting sarcasm... but i think this was it.
happy to hear evidence either way.
It was meant to be sarcastic. I guess the /s was needed after all.
I won't use /s and just eat the downvotes most of the time, but yeah, if you don't want to do that, you gotta use it. Even if you think it's ridiculous.
