I think as a general rule, if you’re going to post something online that could be seen as garish, and you don’t want people to assume you’re posting it to make fun of it, you should specify.
“I like this painting!”

I guess this also goes along with the toxic positivity thing. A lot of left wing spaces seem preoccupied with the idea of being “nice”, and with policing that “niceness”.
e.g. when a person online is being cringey (think tiktok), and people express dislike of it, there’s often a big push back saying “no you’re being judgemental! You’re not being nice!”
Well, yes - people are allowed to react to things they find grating and you’re not going to change them by chiding them.
Like say you post a picture of a painting your friend did and it’s not that great but you wanna share it. Decent odds people will assume you’re posting it as a joke.

referring to a few things here - just wondering what kind of outcome we get from diluting terms like that.
I swear people used to just break up and go “yeah she was an asshole”, instead of immediately aiming for “actually she was emotionally abusive because she asked me to get a job”
