    Ironic humor isn’t a thing. If someone says something and then backpedals and says it was ironic, it’s a lie and they’re just scared of being judged for takes they know are stupid. It could be satire or sarcasm, but considering how landlord meme subreddits are I really doubt it

      I think There are some genuine humour/satire cases, but on the whole I agree that ironic humour leaves the door open to actual bad actors. We’ve got to be able to drop the mask and say that no really landlords have no right to complain
