    No clue, could be either. It’s text on a screen and the only emotion present, is the one you decide to apply to it.

    Ask them if it was a joke or not to be sure, and if you have to ask, it’s because it might not be.

      Sounds like you’re going to lengths to defend this behaviour or to differentiate it.

      No apologia is allowed

        Actually no, the hexbear comment is clearly bad in my opinion, regardless of if it was sarcasm.

        Ironically, I’m of German descent, but whichever heritage someone is in my opinion would be the same.

          Good, I’m glad you can agree it’s bad. You have to be very vigilant against the alt-right playbook—no defending sarcasm or if it’s a joke.
