I can out as a "trans girl" two years ago, and now it is time for me to come out of the closet. My name is pearls. I try to look pretty.

I would not want you to mark sarcasm as that sort of weakens its punch.

I disagree.

If it's witty it will not matter if it's "spoiled" by marking it.

I can appreciate it more with the clarity rather react and waste time refuting it.

if there some sort of time release "/s" marking then I might agree, but I think it gets close to the explaining the joke idea. A joke that needs explaining failed. Typing jokes is not easy especially since we learn the language of that through speaking and tone of voice and gestures.

time release "/s" marking

That's a neat idea. But it doesn't solve Poe's Law so it gets closer to being a virtual prank than joke.

the potential for a prank seems like a feature not a bug
