Sarcasm Font


Recommended Posts

  • 2 months later...

A sarcasm font would take away the uncertainty of whether some one is being sarcastic or not.

What would be next, a 'joke font' so people knew you were telling a joke?

It would be over used and abused, people would try to be sarcastic on purpose just so they could use the font, this abuse would ultimately lead to arguments and offence.

For that reason alone it is full of fail.

I like when people have to be somewhat creative with the tools already provided, rather than just having a specific tool for every job. ASCII emoticons died when emojis as we know them came into existence, since now nobody needed to think up a way to show emotion through text art. It has been over a decade since the Internet became popularized, and the only times people fail to express sarcasm is when they make zero use of the tools provided.

 

People commonly use italics for sarcasm, but there has also been...

-/forward slashes/

-ALL CAPS

-"Quoting"

-/end sarcasm

-Using keywords in combination with the above methods

 

Then more uncommonly we have...

-Posting an image meant to show you're not actually serious

-Doing a complete 180 in your post, saying your sarcastic comment and then attacking your own comment

 

And generally, when you can't do anything to express sarcasm...

-Don't be sarcastic unless you don't mind being a troll.

That fact that you took the time to type all that only reinforces the fact that sarcasm desperately needs its own font.

I would just rather have a single method to unify all the people in this nation forums.

But, it only took 2 minutes. It just looks long because I made so many new lines. I'm just saying that there's not much reason to break up the existing system. Authors of books don't even need a special font to convey sarcasm, or anything really. If we made a tool for every little message we want to send in our posts, we'd be speaking like cavemen, except our words would be decorated with a trillion fonts and be surrounded with emojis.
