    The core idea of Poe’s Law is that a parody of something extreme can be mistaken for the real thing, and if a real thing sounds extreme enough, it can be mistaken for a parody

    What you wrote was a joke, but someone trying to be edgy could also write the same thing, or someone with a poorly thought out view of the world/justice could also write it, the issue is not with the readers but with the writer when the message is ambiguous, you cannot blame people for not knowing your intent, they aren’t mind readers.

    With that last part of your comment I get the impression you’re not planning to discuss this civilly or seriously, so i think I’ll stop this here. have a nice day

      You read “extrajudicial is just extra justice” and didn’t think it was a joke.
