Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL

    Lol - the sheer volume of people who completely missed my /s, and didn’t cotton to the fact that I was making a joke about the very subject…

      Using /s to indicate you’re being sarcastic about an already sarcastic statement is ambiguous and you shouldn’t be surprised that people didn’t get your level of irony correct

        is ambiguous

        Ah - like a double negative? I didn’t realise I cancelled out my sarcasm with more sarcasm. I need to spend more time on the internet. I’d hate for my sarcasm to be misunderstood.
