As Favub began his social media journey he was excited. A new frontier to express myself and connect with others. I began posting, following, and generating content all with the goal of gaining attention. Favub always hoped he would get noticed by someone with fame,so Favub could also have fame. Through this, Favub made some discoveries about the nature of online communication. For example, People take themselves quite seriously on the web. In addition to that, sarcasm is damn near impossible in text.
Through my time I have been posting I have said a multitude of things ranging from preposterous to borderline believable. Although I have encountered vey little issue regarding my content, Favub believes it would be easier if there were a punctuation mark indicative of sarcasm.
Since there is a mark for other intonations (question?, loud!), why is there not a sarcasm mark? For example, If Favub were to tweet: "Boy I sure love Donald Drumpf!" followers could take is both literally AND sarcastically. Without a denotation of sarcasm, the message is lost, and the intended emotion is skewed.
Favub actually did encounter an issue when I tweeted something similar to fellow comic. I quoted his tweet and linked him to a screenshot of my tweet. He thought that Favub was being defensive of my content, but really I was just stating that we had the same idea. In the end, If anyone had been "stealing content" it would have been Favub, having tweeted the tweet 1 our after the other person.
Long story short, Favub was taken back by the nature of the gentlemen's response. He thought I was laying claim to his content, When in reality Favub was just attempting to make a friend
Sarcasm marks 'ought to be common place! Perhaps "$"
Whatever... I hope you all die!($) :-)
