Exactly my problem with Poe’s Law; it exists because even on NotTheOnion everyone’s on guard to either go toe to toe or march in line. Like Poes Law doesn’t exist, because people are less intelligent like you mentioned before (hopefully sarcastically but I’d hate for you to spell it out for me), but just how people tend to look for an argument instead of optimistic engagement until proven otherwise. We’re all here starting and contributing to conversations because most of us care about these growing communities.
Kinda feels like you’re calling me an edgy 12 yo btw. How old are you? Was that a compliment from a ten year old or belittling remark from a teenager?
The core idea of Poe’s Law is that a parody of something extreme can be mistaken for the real thing, and if a real thing sounds extreme enough, it can be mistaken for a parody
What you wrote was a joke, but someone trying to be edgy could also write the same thing, or someone with a poorly thought out view of the world/justice could also write it, the issue is not with the readers but with the writer when the message is ambiguous, you cannot blame people for not knowing your intent, they aren’t mind readers.
With that last part of your comment I get the impression you’re not planning to discuss this civilly or seriously, so i think I’ll stop this here. have a nice day

You read “extrajudicial is just extra justice” and didn’t think it was a joke.
