Hoe geef ik online sarcasme/ironie aan?

Be explicit. By Poe’s law , if you are not explicit, it won’t work.

Without a knipogen smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody [any view] in such a way that someone won’t mistake for the genuine article.

• If you’re really worried about it being unclear, just stick an </s> at the end of whatever you said. Of zeg ronduit “(grapje)” of iets dergelijks. Er is een heel Wikipedia-artikel over ironische interpunctie :

• Als je je minder zorgen maakt, maar toch een soort indicator wilt toevoegen, probeer dan :-P of ;-). (Neuzen zijn optioneel).

Een conventie voor het aangeven van sarcasme online heeft de neiging om je sarcastische opmerking te beëindigen met /s.

Bijvoorbeeld:

Natuurlijk houdt iedereen in de wereld ervan om zijn of haar tanden eruit te laten trekken. /s https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/1z46jc/whatdoesthread_mean/cfqkmva/

Daaraan toe te voegen: Oorspronkelijk, in de goede oude forum dagen, werd het gespeld met “</thread>”, als een HTML-eindtag. Na verloop van tijd liet het de haakjes vallen.

Hetzelfde met “</sarcasm>”, wat na verloop van tijd “/sarcasm” werd en (zoals /u/LOOK_AT_MYALLCAPS aangeeft) uiteindelijk gewoon “/s” werd.

Ik gebruik vaak sarcasme. En ik sms ook veel. Het samenvoegen van die twee kan… moeilijk zijn. Gelukkig bestaat er een gevestigde (hoewel niet zo bekende) groep tekens voor dat .

Onder mijn vrienden hebben we altijd (!) en (?) gebruikt.

Uit Wikipedia:

Retorische vragen in sommige informele situaties kunnen een vraagteken tussen haakjes gebruiken, bijvoorbeeld: “Oh, echt[?]”. Het equivalent voor een ironische of sarcastische uitspraak zou een uitroepteken tussen haakjes zijn, bijvoorbeeld “Oh, echt[!]”. Ondertitels, zoals in Teletekst, gebruiken soms een uitroepteken tussen haakjes of haakjes om sarcasme aan te geven.

Niet iedereen kent het, natuurlijk, maar ik heb gemerkt dat degenen die het teken voor het eerst zien, de betekenis snel doorhebben en het graag overnemen. YMMV.
