    Look at you telling on yourself putting “it” in “air quotes” and all.

      Those are just quotation marks. Air quotes are when you use your fingers to form quotation marks in the air.

        Lol obviously, brainfart on my behalf. Is there a word for those kinds of sarcastic (for lack of a better word) quotes where it’s not just quoted, but implied to cast doubt on the original text/quote?

          I mean, no, you were right. That’s where in spoken conversation you would use air quotes, so it seems correct to use the term this way online too. Maybe writing “virtual air quotes” would help people who don’t understand that this is a text conversation, not literal speech?

          hmm, like how? I don’t know the guy, It’s just what I gathered from both sides, those who cheered for the suspension and those who were against the suspension.
