"/s" tone indicator should just intuitively stand only for "sarcasm", because it taking less effort than being serious correlates to indicator's length. "ar" part that comprises "/sar" is simply redundant. /ser

"The Weaponization of Civility
How 'respectful discourse' silences dissent and prepares the ground for fascism
The first warning sign is not a shouted threat. It is a polite correction.
It sounds reasonable. Calm down. Choose better words. Let’s keep this civil. The message is framed as maturity, as responsibility, as a necessary condition for dialogue. But what it really does is shift the conversation away from what is being said and toward how it is being said. And once that shift happens, power rarely has to answer for itself.
Most people have encountered this move, whether in a workplace meeting, a school board forum, or a public comment thread. A difficult truth is raised. Someone becomes visibly upset. Instead of engaging the issue, the room focuses on tone. The critique is no longer evaluated on its merits. It is evaluated on whether it made anyone uncomfortable.
This is not just a social habit. It is a political mechanism.
Fascism does not begin with violence. It begins with behavioral standards that quietly redefine legitimacy. Before dissent is outlawed, it is discredited. Before opposition is crushed, it is framed as unreasonable, unstable, or dangerous. The language of civility is one of the most effective tools in this process because it disguises exclusion as virtue."

"Respectful discourse" can silence dissent and prepare the ground for fascism by prioritizing comfort over justice and appearance over reality, which can lead to a population trained to associate order with justice and silence with maturity.
@lucydev Espechally #4 of this is classical #TonePolicing as if #humanRights are debateable like preferences for underwear colours.
I pray for that not to happen, but I am aware of that bieing statistically inevitable at the current rate!
11 year old meme still true today.
Proof is in the pearl clutching...
They challenge your tone because they want to ignore the content.
Ebenso:
" #TonePolicing " ist 1 Silencing-Taktik, die auf Privilegienunterschieden beruht. Von jeweiligen Diskriminierungen betroffene Menschen erleben das durch Nichtbetroffene!
Hinweise, gerade von Betroffenen, auf eine falsche, mißverständliche oder diskriminierende Formulierung sind KEIN Tone-Policing!

Would have liked something in stark contrast to the Trump morass.
Instead, swap some details around and it could have been Jnr and Scaramucci.
(Does this count as #TonePolicing?)
Can see that having dad doing world-stage "across the aisle" while living as "Joe's son" would bias heavily towards feeling depersonalised.
Running away and changing his name might have made things better. But instead he kept sucking on the family tit.
