People who need tone indicators aren't stupid
Correct. They’re merely cognitively insufficient to successfully model the minds of the people they talk to.
Neurodivergent people exist, and they deserve respect too.
Not only neurodivergent people need the "/s". Not all subtle speech cues are easily transmitted through text.
Accessibility features help everyone, not just the disabled.
Agreed
You shouldn't need speech cues to simply not take anything seriously.
