I was wondering why a obviously sarcastic comment got so many downvotes. But I kind of realize every now and then that people really can't distinguish between a sarcastic one and a genuine one without the "/s" tag, even if I think it's so on the nose that I think it can't be mistaken.

I think the problem is that there are people who genuinely react like this unironically so it's safer to just take it at face value.
