Sarcasm, Some people never learn Options

[RavedandConfused]

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

Is it just me or do some people not know how to read? So many times I've seen people comment on a thread and not even have any comprehension of what someone was trying to say.

I guess some people just don't understand or even recognize what Sarcasm is.

[whomps]

Uh.. sometimes I see that happening..

Hey, that's quoted from Rush Hour! Damn I love that movie.

[madpimp]

You mean like in THIS POST???

[DaTru KataLYST]

Well you see the problem is that when you intend to use sarcasm on the internet, you must make it VERY CLEAR that you are using it, because the reader doesn't know what context is accented, and what isn't, which primarily is what makes sarcasm, sarcasm.

Smileys really help enunciate the sarcasm. Like

Great Job

and

Great Job

So is capitalizing your accented words, although it's not as efficient.

I would just prefer everyone stopped using sarcasm on the forum, as it's confusing and I don't really wanna bother with identifying someone's goddamn sarcastic comment.

[edit]

Don't assume everyone thinks what you're thinking when you write your post. If you make a sarcastic note, and the reader doesn't catch it, it is partially your fault for not enunciating the sarcastic factor enough, no matter how stupid the reader is.

^ Lol.
Yeah, people in my school go "Oh, really?" Whenever I something sarcastic.
Dumb holes. xD

Person: Omg. Was it you who screamed?
Me: No, it was you.
Person: No it wasn't. It was you!
Me: NO DUH, I WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.


[Edit] oh. Online.
One time I was IMing this person.

Person: Omg ur font color is brite.
Me: No, it's too dark.
Person: ow it's too brite!
Me: OMG I KNOW, I DID IT ON PURPOSE.

Because earlier i said "I can make ur eyes hurt."

It's really hard to show sarcasm online.

The only way that I really could show it and most everyone would understand.. would be like..

*blahblah* </end sarcasm>

..But that takes the whole sarcastic effect out of it.

[*stephinika*]

sometimes though its really obvious and people still miss it...

[DaTru KataLYST]

sometimes though its really obvious and people still miss it...

obvious for you. it might be obvious to me. But I'm not the standard of human thinking. So we can't assume that some person w/ a lower thinkin capacity will pick up on this subjectively obvious sarcasm.

[*wind&fire*]

sarcasm is in the stressing of syllables...you cant really but some how we all get it...

eg.

"wow youre pretty...." can be interpreted diff it depends who im talking to

[xxruinedsoulxx]

sometimes, it's just hard to show that you're being sarcastic

[jaeman]

It's easy to find sarcasim talking to a person face to face, it is a little difficult to find sarcasim through the internet.

[madpimp]

I think it's funny when people don't get it. Most of the time it's because they are people of low intelligence.

[jennyjenny]

You can't sound sarcastic on the internet....

" Yeah, nice shoes. "

Depends on the way you say it, and whom you say it to.

[*Solipsist*]

Add sarcasm tags.
Shoot, they aren't that hard.

[xj_liana_tx]

i don't get sarcasm sometimes...

[angel-roh]

I'm never sarcasmn in internet... people think that way I'm usually not good at sarcasm haha. I got voted here in createblog for biggest sarcasm. I didn't know what that word means that time, then i asked one of the members here and she told me what sarcasm meant.


but really I don't do sarcasm. What i say is true and know what I am talking about. Well actually I did sarcasm in person few times just with my sister only.


Why do you guys think I do sarcasm gez.

[iheartsimba]

sarcasm is a use of humor. to try and mock people. be careful on when you use sarcasm, because you can't always get the tone through the internet. if you are fustrated with people who do not understand you sarcsm, dont use it.

[RavedandConfused]

it's not just people not understanding sarcasm it's people not reading the posts or the context surrounding what people are talking about.......

i guess i feel that the readers at createblog are pretty knowledgeable and it surprises me that some things that seem obvious to one person aren't to other

[*Azarel*]

What the hell is sarcasm?

.. it's stupid when I make it so blatantly obvious and people are oblivious to it.

[madpimp]

The worst is when you tell them it's sarcasm and they still don't get it

[dani41790]

hmm maybe they are being sarcastic to? hmm maybe not. some people are slow like that.

Susan.. the word "sarcasm" is a noun, not a verb.

(sorry, I just had to point that out X] ) When were you voted for most "sarcastic?"


Anyway, I am a pretty gullible person. I tend to fall for it haha. I have a friend who's sarcastic in everything he says... I tend to fall for it haha. But see, I catch on if I know for sure that it's meant to be in a sarcastic way.. It's easier for me to know when someone's sarcastic when they post on this forum because they either refer to something, say it in a funny way and enunciating certain words, or putting smilies there. Maybe once in a while I might not know. And also, it helps to READ all the posts before posting.. I don't want to repeat something and I want to know what the thread is exactly about and how people have reacted to it. That way, I'll know what's going on and maybe contribute something worth reading, rather than saying something that's already said or just not getting what's going on at all.

But I agree with Jeff: We can't assume that everyone things the same as us.

[giggl3s]

yea it really is to show sarcasm unless you do the famous "jk"

[crazeegirl411]

obvious for you. it might be obvious to me. But I'm not the standard of human thinking. So we can't assume that some person w/ a lower thinkin capacity will pick up on this subjectively obvious sarcasm.

If it's not obvious enough for them, then they are not superior enough.

yea it really is to show sarcasm unless you do the famous "jk"

"jk" defeats the purpose. I got in a petty little argument with a friend when I didn't say "jk" after I joke. I don't regret.

I doubt she was. I like sarcasming. *falls over* ..haha, too amusing.

[madpimp]

I'm sarcasmic.

[xTINAA]

sometimes i don't think things through so i just fall for it and don't realize the person online is being sarcastic. but most of the time i do realize it's sarcastic and at times i'm sarcastic too. like someone else said, online it's helpful to add a smiley to show that that you are being sarcastic.

[RavedandConfused]

i think that sometimes when you have to point out the sarcasm to someone (using "" or smiles or bolding) it loses the original intent of the sarcasm

[LeSLiE]

I don't like sarcasm on the computer cuz I can never realize that it's sarcasm.. unless its OBVIOUS.. of course..

[madpimp]

A serious question to people who don't recognize sarcasm:

Are you ever worried that this is a reflection of your intellect?

[xsweetxcandyx]

most people i know don't understand when i'm being sarcastic.. i have to like explain to them.. idiots...

i quite agree because hearing sarcasm and trying to detect in on the internet which is communication made by words and pictures, its hard to see where it actually is ..

[Heathasm]

i know when people are sarcastic, im a sarcastic person myself. but i love to just be a jerk about it and give them a hard time...when i just dont find it funny, by taking it "seriously"

also id like to edit this...
i find that alot of people who who dont understand sarcasm often think that every one besides themselves are stupid/weird/eccentric/abnormal, just because they will actually believe you if they ask an ironically stupid question such as "are you racist" and you are like "yeah, i hate mexicans"
and then they lapse into some huge speech about how ignorant you are.

[Rachel]

The worst is when you tell them it's sarcasm and they still don't get it

yuck that is the worst...

sarcasm is a way of life to me...i can be a huge sarcastic bitch sometimes which is fun for me but not for others...oh well...Sarcasm is great to use around stupid people because it makes them stupider

[madpimp]

i don't get sarcasm sometimes...

I can't tell whether you're incredibly witty or if you really aren't being sarcastic.

Because if you aren't, then I feel kind of sad.

Yes. Exactly.

[tooeffingcrazy]

No, of course i don't know what sarcasm is! Explain it to me.

[RavedandConfused]

[burnoveride]

That's one of the weirdest things I have heard.

[norconlipentut]

sarcasm is such fun

[ghetosmurph]

There are so many times that people just do not understand sarcasam! I finally just got so fed up that I now put sarcasam marks around my statements. like this "I don't get this Topic*Note sarcasam in the last statement*" Some people are just so braindead at times that they just miss everything, so sometimes you have to lay it out for them.
