  • To me, the original post was riddled with “verbal” irony - they were saying things whose words meant one thing but the overall post was actually making fun of the ideas the words were presenting.

    My comment serves to state that I agree with the point the words are making and not the meaning through the lens of irony. Ie, unironically.

    Cambridge dictionary 2nd definition of irony

    irony noun [U] (TYPE OF SPEECH) the use of words that are the opposite of what you mean, as a way of being funny

    I respect the pushback though. I have similar gripes with “sarcasm” being used when “irony” is correct and vice versa.
