In Russia, a couple years ago, a dude was holding a banner on the street saying "хуйло" (huilo) and nothing else. The police arrested him and when he complained that he doesn't have any names on the banner the policeman responded with "it’s perfectly obvious to everyone who huilo is".

I don't see the Dramen staff, he ain't going nowhere.

Sure, he might be doing it for the wrong reasons, but at least he's doing the "right" thing. Isn't that the best one could expect of him?

Criticizing someone else’s censorship in order to defend your own right to free speech is as valid a reason as any. In fact, I’d say it’s the very point.

Huh. Well, to be fair it's been a while since I played it...

Hmm... I don't remember that being in the original.

This seems NSFW, but I'm unsure why.

It's clearly pussy-trapped, not booby-trapped.

The one who's hard to understand is you, with your complete lack of punctuation. "/s" is extremely common and pretty much everybody understands what it means. If you didn't know until now, no biggie, now you do and all is well.

And to answer your question, if a comment or a paragraph ends with an "/s", then you can be sure the author was being sarcastic in that comment/paragraph.
If there's no indicator, it could still be sarcastic or it could be serious, use your own judgement.

So no, not everything should be taken as sarcasm.

Well, first of all, it's old people slang at this point.

And second, I don't understand your outburst. You're free to start a serious thread about criticizing Russia's rhetoric, right next to the sarcastic thread that is criticizing Russia's rhetoric.
