    I literally called the scammers backstabbing people and people who would sell their mother for money. I know the "proud" part was the only thing that Sophia read and then turned into a raging white knight who had to defend the poor scammed people without even thinking for a second about the context.

    To me every normal thinking person on this planet should know that this is a joke, especially after OP mentioned they are both lalafell players. Especially when i wrote it so over the top with the added "selling our mother" which wasn't even part of the drama and clearly negative towards the scammers.

    But for some people irony and sarcasm is hard to understand, i am used to it.

    There's one thing you failed to take into consideration.

    Some people in this world approve of taking advantage of every opportunity to get ahead, regardless of how unethical or illegal it may be. They will use the same type of language that you use because they do take pride in being a "backstabber", etc.

    A bit better to avoid sarcasm when not everyone "listening in" is going to know your real life personality.

    Or, and hear me out-

    You read the room. His choice of words clearly indicated it was a joke, unless you think it's normal for people to sell their mothers.

    I'm glad to be living rent free in your head, how's the complaining about PVP going ? Not rank 5 in the PvP series yet ? Or do you need a few years for it ?
