Bohtty 1,775 September 12, 2012 Share September 12, 2012 (edited) I think that a sarcasm font/feature would be a nice addition to the list of fonts/features that we already have. Then there would be no confusion when someone is being sarcastic. Here is the easiest solution: http://glennmcanally...loads.htm#fonts It's bascially a backwards slanted Arial. The nicer, but more difficult solution: <p style="-webkit-transform: skew(20deg); -moz-transform: skew(20deg); -ms-transform: skew(20deg); -o-transform: skew(20deg); transform: skew(20deg); "> This text will be skewed by 20 degrees. </p> Lol, It can't be applied to the "span" tag unfortunately so it would have to either be done from a "div" or "p" tag. You can make a "div" tag look like a "span" tag if you add "display:inline" to the "style" attribute. Edited September 12, 2012 by Bohtty 10 Legit signature made by Shift.

Shiki 5,857 September 12, 2012 Share September 12, 2012 (edited) I don't know about you, but I never user sarcasm on the forums. This would be kinda cool... Though it really doesn't seem like something worth taking the time to add. If added, then woot, yay. If not, then meh. Do support, I guess, though. :/ Also, Bohtty, go ahead and rage, because I changed my username. :c Edited September 12, 2012 by Kawaii You'll be entranced by me ♥ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FedoraMemes 582 September 12, 2012 Share September 12, 2012 While I tend to use a cross out font if it is a joke or sarcasm, I think that maybe this would be a good idea, because then you can actually tell if someone is being sarcastic, or maybe crossing out an error in a post.

NavelColt 22,883 September 12, 2012 Share September 12, 2012 Between italics and cross out, I've never found myself craving something specific like this due to not being able to portray my sarcasm. And by that same token, no one I'm aware of wasn't able to tell when I was being sarcastic, any of those times. Can't say this is something I'm particularly in need of, and I think the available options are able to show sarcasm just fine, so, that's my input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nouth 496 September 12, 2012 Share September 12, 2012 One of the thigs that I totally don't care about. I do not really think that people here need a specific font for their sarcasm to be understood, but on the other hoof, addition of this won't hurt anybody, so meh.

Evilshy 5,093 September 12, 2012 Share September 12, 2012 I don't think this will be helpful, because nobody on this site uses sarcasm ever. Especially not me. I am serious about everything and what I say is always 100% what I believe to be true. Yeah... maybe a sarcasm font would be a nice idea 1 Signature now 99% less edgy!

Abstract 832 September 12, 2012 Share September 12, 2012 I find that a simple http://mlpforums.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png transfers sarcasm quite well. And isn't the point of sarcasm to not be 100% obvious anyway? I find it much more effective when the victim doesn't quite get it. 1 "Let the steel of my resolve be not bested by the sum of my fears."

Pinkie D Pie 1,036 September 12, 2012 Share September 12, 2012 This could be interesting and cool, yet I might never use it. I tend to not use sarcasm a lot, maybe ever now and then. On second thought, it could be useful. I like this idea. My OC's Shadow Stalker/Aarod Brachuin/Dark Chocolate/Cocoa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshine 16,335 September 13, 2012 Share September 13, 2012 Huh, I never know you need a special font to be sarcastic D: It's quite useless, as people will use this font to justify that they're not sarcastic while they totally are. Not to mention a true master of sarcasm can easily do his job without any extra cosmetics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White text stating it's not serious is always a + for me, the RCT would know. If there's no white text, and you truly think your sarcasm would be offended or taken seriously, just state it's a joke so things don't go haywire.
