Is this just an inconsistency or what?

My standards for a joke comment is if it is written with emojis, some inconsistency uses for uppercase and lowercase letters, the word "sarcasm" written in the end inside parentheses, and/or a comment so ridiculous and/or exaggerated no people with common sense is serious with that comment. But then there's this:

A: You can't possibly posted that comment unironically.

B: No, I'm serious.

A: Well, then that controversial comment of yours definitely says a lot about your moral code.

B: R/whoooosh

Uncomfortable Ideas: Facts don't care about feelings. Science isn't concerned about sensibilities. And reality couldn't care less about rage.

This is a book about uncomfortable ideas—the reasons we avoid them, the reasons we shouldn’t, and discussion of dozens of examples that might infuriate you, offend you, or at least make you uncomfortable.

Many of our ideas about the world are based more on feelings than facts, sensibilities than science, and rage than reality. We gravitate toward ideas that make us feel comfortable in areas such as religion, politics, philosophy, social justice, love and sex, humanity, and morality. We avoid ideas that make us feel uncomfortable. This avoidance is a largely unconscious process that affects our judgment and gets in the way of our ability to reach rational and reasonable conclusions. By understanding how our mind works in this area, we can start embracing uncomfortable ideas and be better informed, be more understanding of others, and make better decisions in all areas of life.

Different standards on what is considered a joke. Which is fine, people are different.
