I really think sarcasm needs to be properly marked in text formats.
Reverse italics would work so well.
However I feel like to be truly good sarcasm, it needs to fly over someone's head.
Sarcasm doesn't need to decieve, it needs to make a point IMO.
Making it obvious with a /s or similar takes a away from that I feel
/s doesn't take away from the point, it's just an indicator. In this day and age, it's legitimately impossible to tell otherwise sometimes.
