SpongeBob case « Definitions «

Avoid: ableist language. Text styling that alternates lowercase and uppercase (often randomly) letters to indicate mockery or sarcasm, or to take a deragatory tone, popularised with a meme of SpongeBob Squarepants where he is deformed.

A PSA on usability and ableism with CW SpongeBob discussion:

Screen readers won't know how to read SpongeBob case so it will often be read as gibberish.

It runs right over dyslexic readers.

Its "humor" is based on making fun of differences from the dominant culture.

Find another way to show your rejection or sarcasm. Do some research before deploying it.
