I don’t get why people think saying things like “REPEAT THAT OUT LOUD” makes their point better. Let the horror speak for itself, it’s plenty capable of doing so.
Social media users on text platforms are probably above average on reading skills. I’m convinced the average person is only semi literate, and there’s a shocking amount of people who can barely read at all.
Yes it does, that is the point of rhetorical tools. otherwise imagine if it was costumery to send messages as succinctly as possible without any fluff or emotional tone. Communicating would be a pain.
My rule of thumb, if complaining about something annoying is even more annoying than the thing I am complaining about, it is not worth complaining about.

Just like “Read it again, slowly”. dw, I understood it the first time around.
To be fair, given the apparent average reading comprehension of most social media users, it probably does actually make a difference

This has been studied and it’s actually true
Especially when it’s something untrue followed by “REPEAT THAT OUT LOUD”.
you ain’t been around a whole lot of the states, have you
Why?
oh no, rethorical tools. what an horror
“an horror” is far scarier
it’s an orror innit
boo
REPEAT THAT OUT LOUD
See? So much more effective: @[email protected] missed an opportunity to prove a point.
too lazy, better let other people prove my point for me.
I mean when it’s something really obvious that the entire audience already knows it’s just obnoxious
I feel it’s only obnoxious because it’s uncreative. Theyre just using a template meme which feels low effort.
if you’re right and the audience knows it’s obnoxious, why do you repeat yourself? or using rethorical tools is ok when you’re using them?
honestly, it’s such a non issue.
It’s an issue to me because it’s really annoying 🤪
why use emojis if the meaning is clear? DAMN RETHORICAL TOOLS, WHY ARE THEY SO UNIVERSAL
I kinda just wanted to see what would happen if I did that lmao
(Also it does meaningfully change the tone of the message)

Can I claim your complaint about me complaining is therefore the most annoying and so I win the comment chain?
