Sarcasm

[Cold Fusion]

Sarcasm is something I tend to do more often in real life for humour but when it aggravates someone I stop, I'd rather not tick someone off and making it into a large argument. I'm a peaceful person when it comes to that type of thing. On the internet though, it's hard to be sarcastic so I don't try to be sarcastic at all but I have been told though that I am sarcastic even on the internet. For me to be around a sarcastic person isn't a problem, it's humorous for myself, then again, I'm easily amused. They chose to be sarcastic, their choice. I can't stop them from being sarcastic. The only time I wish people wasn't sarcastic is when I'm in a good old grump, then I will state the reason why they shouldn't be sarcastic whilst I'm a mood then walk off. But more often that not, I'm in a good mood so I tend to never really be bothered. I've never been a good detector of sarcasm, though...

Sarcasm when used properly, is quite an effective humor mechanism.

But, I have some rules. First of all being that being sarcastic towards me, with statements at my expense is strictly prohibited anytime you want to be taken seriously, and are not trying to be insulting or rude. I enforce that pretty heavily on anyone who interacts with me, simply because I hate seeing sarcasm being abused, misused, or otherwise used insensitively. If you're being sarcastic in the wrong moment, I usually peg you as rude or arrogant...neither of which gets great treatment at all. :<

Of course naturally if you're in a casual tone, the topic is none too serious, and you're just goofing around and being silly...it is perfectly fine so long as you're not using it offensively. Be certain that I trust you enough as a friend before you go teasing me...I don't like jokes at anyone's expense unless it's playful, and unoffensive to the target...and I have been known to 'gnaw faces off' when someone insults a friend...So be sure to let the target let me know if it's OK if I start 'gnawing' or 'gnashing my teeth' at it.

face to face sarcasm I like, sarcasm online i don't because I can't tell online sarcasm and end up getting angry at someone who was joking

Sarcasm makes the world go 'round.

It's even better in the web because no one can really tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

THUS IS THE BIRTH OF TROLLING.

Or at least my minimal, pathetic excuse for trolling. n_n

I'm hardly ever sarcastic. I just don't see the point.

I'm hardly ever sarcastic. I just don't see the point.

It makes life that little more fun/interesting :) (no that wasn't sarcasm)

I am sarcastic around friends all the time. I kinda stopped being sarcastic to people who I dont know so well as a lot of the time they dont know when I am being sarcastic and things turn ugly (I am vicious with my mouth in arguments). I tend not to be sarcastic on forums as it is very hard to tell when someone is being serious about something or not.

 

[EmeraldSerenade]

I can be sarcastic at times, but I think I annoy people a bit by doing so..

 

[Binary]

I act sarcastic around sarcastic people. If it annoys anybody, then I just zip my mouth. I don't talk much anyways.

 

[Spherical Ice]

Me? Sarcastic? Never.

Yes, I enjoy being sarcastic. Especially when someone takes it seriously. :D

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

I love being sarcastic, although I always make it blatantly obvious I am so as to not incite anger from those who don't read it as easily.

Sarcasm is the best. It just has to be perfectly executed and it has to leave whoever you're speaking to feel like a moron.

Sort of difficult to get across in text though, because tone of voice has a lot to do with it.

 

[ManhattanTheStarr]

Pfff, I use sarcasm all the time. xD
And yeah, it can be difficult to tell if someone's being sarcastic online or not. ><

 

[Stratos99]

Seriously, I think the world would be a better place if people just stopped being sarcastic. It's almost never positive and can hurt people emotionally. :/ Nah jk sarcasm is great. I'm sarcastic all the time.

 

[La Denryu]

I love saracasm. But sometimes it doesn't really transfer well over the internet.

"We've been doing all this coursework for the past week.."
"Oh. Fun then."
"NO, IT'S NOT FUN."
"....."

So I stick to making sarcastic remarks irl.

 

[Trap-Eds]

Sarcastic people amuse me, as long as they're not being cruel. I suck at it myself though.

 

[Aquacorde]

I'm naturally sarcastic... I use sarcasm unconsciously much of the time, as do most of my friends.
