Fucking Facebook.

In case you wondered, I’m currently in jail.

I got arrested for dropping a sarcastic comment. And it wasn’t even my first offence. I’ve also had a whole entire post removed for being sarcastic:

Now, anyone with a working pair of eyes could see that this was a positive story. I was snarking on a certain highly prevalent mindset that’s eating the United States of Amnesia (and Canada, too) alive. I have Muslim friends, none of whom complained about my comment. That’s because they know me. They know how I feel about racist asshats. They’re not dweebs. They understand sarcasm even when it’s not in Arabic.

Facebook, however, doesn’t understand it in any language.

And heaven forfend that you should snark at white people, even when you ARE white people. They’ve got a whole entire algorithm in there dedicated to protecting the delicate sensibilities of white people. That’s why Facebook has that tone-deaf TOS, BTW.

Here’s what I told them to help them improve:

You don’t understand SARCASM, do you? Or at least your idiot algorithm doesn’t. Meanwhile, I regret to inform you that actual Nazis, white supremacists, KKK, etc., are still using your site to recruit and brainwash thousands. With complete impunity.

Here’s hoping that there’s some human in there on the receiving end who will get the message, because their brain-dead racist algorithm certainly doesn’t.
