      You’ll have to make the sarcasm more obvious if that is the intentional effect unfortunately.

      Look at the Za’Niyah Harris case, and how many comments there are about how “fast” she was. (14 year old girl, impregnated by an adult in his 40’s who had previously given a 4 year an STI. he gave her an abortion, she is dead and no one knows where the body is)

          The problem with that as sarcasm is that is genuinely what many people will believe and say. I heard similar in response to my own experiences of sexual assault as a teenager, and am the product of a pregnant teenager who should have got an abortion.

            Sorry you had to go through that. My OP was because people are so quick to blame the female for getting pregnant, saying things like it was how she dressed or how she acted. Basically victim blaming.

              It happens to all victims of sexual assault. You liked it, you wanted it, we could see by the way you dressed/acted/didn’t fight back.

              The problem is that someone like Nick Fuentes would unironically post and intend your OP, and this being the internet, folks are going to assume that you are the goblin troll without clear markers of sarcasm.

        this guy obviously got a lot of downvotes, so i don’t want to associate myself with that, or even stick my own neck out… because what’s the benefit? maybe i also get a bunch of downvotes? it makes me feel very sketched out. especially as someone who has had to mask their whole life, i have a hard time doing this in public.

        but, i think he was joking/sarcastic. i could be wrong, because i am bad at reading social cues… but i’ve also spent a bunch of time practicing at it, and we people have a hard time detecting sarcasm… but i think this was it.

        happy to hear evidence either way.

      TIL the adoption process is an unfortunate accident that happens to unsuspecting people through no fault of their own.
