Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

yeah no worries glad you could come around :) you don’t have to like my memes but i hate to see people misunderstand them completely and get the wrong idea

I also read it ironically. I'm still not sure it's not intended ironically

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

well i didn’t post it ironically. you either believe my word or ya don’t haha

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I believe you didn't. But did you make this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it’s a common exploitable image trope. most of them are unironic exactly as i use it here. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/star-posting-the-just-kidding-star

sorry homie, i led you to water. drink or don’t. it’s not my job to convince you ya know

I just dispute your take that this was always earnest. The knowyourmeme implies ironicposting

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

i never said it was always earnest. i said it was often earnest. mostly unironic. i used it unironically. my friends do. the community where i originally found the trope years ago used it unironically. you are more than welcome to post a star ironically and then there would be irrefutable proof of your claim but i don’t care

knowyourmeme page contains neither the word “ironic” or “satire.”

sorry if im being short here, you are probably just chatting for fun, but you’re just doing a thing that happens all the time where you tell me my words actually mean the opposite and it makes me upset because of how often it happens on here.

no means no, yes means yes. it doesn’t feel good for me to say “no” and get “i think you meant yes” in return.

I already said that I accept your use unironically. I don't know what you're upset about.

Anyway, you can continue using this, but you will continue to probably confuse people and end up in unnecessary misunderstandings like before 🤷

no worries its just that this conversation is representative of a larger pattern i deal with. i.e. i make a typo or bad grammar choice, correct it later and get “but you literally said (typo)” at the next turn of the conversation. this is just a silly example of the real issue

anyway yall just dont get my jokes and thats a you issue. i convinced the main person who misunderstood at first and this is literally the first time anyone misunderstood this (i use these stars a lot because they are funny)

never seen these before, so I guess we run in different circles. Find emojis or smilies usually achieve the same results.
