The thing is though, a non-negligible percentage of neckbeards will miss the sarcasm almost every time.

So? That's the point of sarcasm. There has to be some possibility of it going over people's heads.

Sometimes it's hard to understand what someone means when it's just words on a screen. This board is a prime example.

Agreed. /s tags say you have no confidence in your ability to convey sarcasm or are afraid of being downvoted or replied to negatively because some dummy didn't catch it. Either way, lame.

Sarcasm in general is a shitty way of communicating. If you can't communicate like a rational and polite adult then maybe argumentation and rhetoric is not for you.

It can be good for jokes, but god, most people are just condescending pricks with their usage of sarcasm. Feeling superior doesn't make you superior. Spend more time proving it rather than expressing it.

I would normally agree but there are people I get along with who actually need that tag because they have some sort of disorder that makes it hard to get sarcasm and too many times I make some sarcastic comment that is usually agreeing with or complimenting them but they take it as face value or as an insult.
