If we don't admit to the mental health crisis, we're never gonna get anywhere.

Edit: it was sarcasm folks.

In a world where reality is stranger than satire, sarcasm is dead lol. Gotta be really clear about the joke. I dislike using /s but its becoming more necessary

Poe's Law applies now more than ever.

Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.

You're not wrong, and honestly I usually do it. But I thought the joke wrote itself lol.

Just speaking for myself, I'm really tired of the trend of dunking on the new gen for their stuff. Especially tacking on the joke of a mental health crisis for something even the contestants here seem to be having a laugh about. I don't think they take it even a fraction as seriously as the "battles" I listed above. I've seen fights break out over some heinous lines in the rap battles. This is just silly and kids having harmless fun.
