To me it's born out of this moment: "Wait, will someone see this joke and think I'm serious? If they did they'd think I'm a psycho..."

Am i wooshing myself??

That is literally the point of sarcasm. People legitimately wanted to murder Jonathan Swift.

If you write "/s", just write the direct unironic statement in the first place.

Yes, the /s and sarcastic tone both exist and are used by people.
