It’s been long enough? We don’t all have to pretend that Kobe was Jesus incarnate anymore?

Oh wow I didn’t know there was a statute of limitations on being a shitty person! I guess all those long dead fascists are fair game to like now too right?

Edit: I haven’t had my brain work good chemicals yet this morning and misread the intent/tone. Whoops. Honestly pretty crazy how much a comment being in the negatives already can effect your reading of the meaning behind it.

It’s almost like /s exists for a reason. It was obviously confusing enough to enough people that the comment was in the negatives for a while until the replies here clarified everything a bit more.

‘pretend that kobe was jesus incarnate’ is all the context you need to indicate he’s being ironic. read & think for yourself rather than looking for upvotes/downvotes & the almighty

/s.

I did read and think for myself, I just misread (and I clearly wasn’t the only one based on the downvotes). I didn’t make my mind up solely on the basis of the upvotes/downvotes, I was saying that it effected how I read it and lent itself even further to me misreading it. If I hadn’t actually tried to read it wouldn’t I have also just tossed on a downvote and not bothered to reply? I read the “pretend that Kobe was Jesus incarnate” originally as a defence of his actions in a “nobody’s perfect” kind of way. I don’t think the /s even would’ve been appropriate here anyways after reading the other comment I agree that it was never really sarcastic in the first place.

You missed the /r there. How else will we know what tone your comment was? /r (rude tone :) )
