Neurodivergent people exist, and they deserve respect too.
I’m a neurodivergent person, and I love sarcasm because I’m not a stupid neurodivergent person.
Not only neurodivergent people need the "/s". Not all subtle speech cues are easily transmitted through text.
Accessibility features help everyone, not just the disabled.
You shouldn't need speech cues to simply not take anything seriously.
And it is not even only neurodivergent people where /s is helpful. You dont hear the tone of voice of people in the internet which is used to indicate sarcasm irl. I would rather use an /s than people misunderstanding what I wrote abd maybe them thinking I am some kind of conspiracy idiot
