        No, no, antisemitism isn’t about hating jews its about hating zionist. The military industrial complex tells me so. /sarcasm/

        Though thats how alot of people treat it…

          Just fyi, the slash in /s or /sarcasm isn’t some weird bracket, it’s meant as an XML style closing tag, meaning “end of sarcasm”. In full it would look as follows:

          <sarcasm>Things are going great!</sarcasm>
          

          But people drop the opening tag and the <> for convenience.

            No, the / has nothing to do with xml. It’s a fake IRC command.

            They were all in the style of /commandname.

            You know, people tend to use sarcasm more in chats than in XML documents.

              I’m aware of slash commands. If it’s a /sarcasm command, why would it be at the end of the statement?
              What’s your source for this? I’m pretty sure “/s” means “end of sarcasm”, borrowed from XML/HTML.

              I don’t remember ever seeing /s on IRC.
              It’s always meant </sarcasm> to me.

        I get no Jews as in people of Jewish faith but no Jews as in the ethnicity would get iffy fast. No blacks or no whites or no mulattoes or whatever can be a bit oof even though everyone has their preference
