    Why does that matter? If you’re not convinced you can be effectively sarcastic then don’t be sarcastic. Putting that at the end is tantamount to going ‘LOOOOOOOOOOOL JK DON’T DOWNDOOT PLZZ!!!’.

      Why die on this hill? It’s so very, very pointless.

        No, it’s not, that stupid thing highlights several different problems, chief of which being that people would rather ruin a joke than risk being downvoted.

        This is the kind of trend that’ll just stunt weak, impressionable, scared people’s cognition and impact their poor communicative skills further.
